One of them is Hery Indratno as Head of the PBSI-Dkom BI Division.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, September 10.

They are Treasurer of the Harapan Putra Mandiri Foundation, Eka Kartika; Head of the Subdivision of the Commission XI DPR RI Secretariat, Ageng Wardoyo; Chairman of the Giri Raharja Foundation and the Guna Semesta Persada Foundation, Andri Sopiandi.

Budi has not detailed what investigators will investigate from the dozens of witnesses. He only said the examination was related to the alleged corruption that ensnared Satori as the legislator of the NasDem Party and Heri Gunawan, who is the legislator of the Gerindra Party.

"KPK has scheduled witness examinations in the alleged TPK related to social programs or CSR at Bank Indonesia and OJK," said Budi.

Previously reported, the KPK officially announced the legislators of the DPR from the NasDem Party faction, Satori and Heri Gunawan, who are legislators of the DPR from the Gerindra Party faction as suspects in the alleged corruption of BI CSR funds. They are suspected of receiving gratuities and committing money laundering (TPPU).

The KPK said Satori was suspected of receiving a total of Rp. 12.52 billion. The details are Rp. 6.30 billion from BI; Rp. 5.14 billion from OJK through Financial Counseling activities; and Rp. 1.04 billion from other working partners of Commission XI of the DPR.

The money is allegedly used for personal needs, such as deposits, land purchases, showroom construction, purchases of two-wheeled vehicles, and purchases of other assets.

Meanwhile, Heri Gunawan received a total of Rp15.86 billion and used it also for personal gain. The details are Rp6.26 billion from BI; Rp7.64 billion from OJK through Financial Counseling activities; and Rp1.94 billion from other working partners of Commission XI DPR.

The money is then accommodated in an account. Heri Gunawan then used it to build restaurants, manage drink outlets, purchase land and buildings to purchase four-wheeled vehicles.

The social funds received by the two suspects from BI and OJK were immediately distributed to 4 foundations managed by Rumah Aspirasi Heri Gunawan and 8 foundations managed by Rumah Aspira Satori.
