JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined the Director of PT Hartadinata Abadi, Ferriyady Hartadinata regarding allegations of fictitious investment corruption at PT Taspen on Wednesday, February 12. He was questioned as a witness by investigators.

KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika said there were a number of things that were explored from the examination carried out. One of them is related to his meeting with PT Taspen and PT IIM in the context of investment activities.

"The person concerned is present. The material (investigation of questions, ed) was held with Taspen and IIM regarding Taspen's investment activities," Tessa told reporters in a written statement, Friday, February 21.

Tessa did not specify the meeting process because it became material for examination. Including discussions carried out from these activities.

Previously reported, the KPK has detained former Director of PT Taspen (Persero) Antonius NS Kosasih and former President Director of PT Insight Investment Management Ekiawan Heri Primayanto regarding the alleged corruption of fictitious investments in the state-owned company. Their actions allegedly cost the state up to Rp200 billion.

This case began when PT Taspen (Persero) placed an investment of IDR 1 trillion in the RD I-Next G2 mutual fund managed by PT Insight Investment Management. The private company then spread it to a number of investments but not according to the rules.

In detail, Rp78 billion is managed by PT Insight Investment Management. Then, as much as Rp2.2 billion is managed by PT VSI; Rp102 million is managed by PT PS; Rp44 million goes to PT SM; and other parties affiliated with Kosasih and Ekiawan.

In this case, the investigative team has also searched two apartment units in Rasuna Said, South Jakarta on January 8 and 9. From these forced attempts, the anti-corruption commission confiscated Rp300 million in foreign currency US dollars, Singapore dollars, pounds, won, and baht.

Not only that, investigators also confiscated a number of luxury bags, documents or letters related to ownership of assets and electronic evidence allegedly related to the case being investigated.

Then, investigators also confiscated six apartments in the South Tangerang area last week. Allegedly, the property belonged to Antonius N.S. Kosasih.
