JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there is a side streaming and fictitious transaction mode in the corruption case of providing credit facilities by the Indonesian Export Financing Agency (LPEI). Five witnesses were questioned by investigators, including Ayu Andriani, who is one of the finance staff of the LPEI debtor company.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the five witnesses underwent examination at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Thursday, May 15.
"Witness brother AYA was present. An examination related to the flow of funds for the use of credit from LPEI indicated that there was a side streaming," Budi said in a written statement, Friday, May 16.
The practice of side streaming in the banking world is misuse of funds or financing or what has been agreed upon. In fact, before the credit is handed over, the debtor has entered into an agreement with the creditor, in this case LPEI.
Apart from Ayu, the KPK also examined other witnesses, namely the former LPEI Executive Director Sinthya Roesly; Sunu Eudi Purwoko as a former LPEI employee; Sufiyanto from the private sector; and Wahyu Priyo Rahmanto as a former LPEI employee.
From the former LPEI Executive Director Sinthya Roesly, investigators are investigating the reasons for granting credit facility extensions to companies that are not feasible.
Meanwhile, from Sunu Eudi Purwoko as a former LPEI employee, the anti-corruption commission explored the legal reviews that had been given and the responses given by the management.
"Then witness SP (Supiyanto), investigators investigated the alleged fictitious buying and selling transactions that were underlying the provision of credit facilities," he said.
Finally, investigators are exploring the reasons or basis for providing additional credit facilities to companies that are no longer healthy. This information was studied by a witness named Wahyu Priyo Rahmanto.
"Witness WPR (Wahyu Priyo Rahmanto) The witness was investigated regarding the reasons or basis for providing additional credit facilities to companies that are suspected to be unhealthy," said Budi.
Previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption related to credit by the Indonesian Export Financing Agency (LPEI). Three of the five suspects have been detained.
They are Jimmy Masrin as President Director of PT Caturkarsa Megatunggal as well as President Commissioner of PT Petro Energy; Finance Director of PT Petro Energy Susy Mira Dewi Sugiarta; and Newin Nugroho as President Director of PT Petro Energy.
Meanwhile, the two suspects who have not been detained are Dwi Wahyudi as Managing Director I of LPEI and Arif Setiawan as Managing Director IV of LPEI.
Currently, the anti-corruption commission is investigating the granting of credit to PT Petro Energy. The state losses caused by this rasuah practice reached Rp846.9 billion.
However, this amount has the potential to increase to IDR 11.7 trillion. This is because there are 10 other debtors who give their loans by LPEI are considered problematic.
