JAKARTA - Head of the Public Prosecutor's Task Force (Kasatgas) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Greafik Loerte said PT Insight Investments Management (IIM) was a corporate suspect because it was enriched in fictitious investment of PT Taspen (Persero). This company is said to have made a profit from the management fee of Rp44,207,902,471.

"We see that he was involved. Why? Because Rp44 billion is an management fee obtained from the proceeds of a crime," Greafik said at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, October 15.

"Therefore, from the public prosecutor's side, we believe that PT IIM, of course, in terms of corporate legal subjects, can be held criminally responsible," he continued.

Greafik explained that many companies were also enriched in this case. The details are PT KB Valbury Sekuritas Indonesia amounting to Rp2,465,488,054; PT Pacific Sekuritas Indonesia amounting to Rp108 million; PT Sinar Emas Sekuritas amounting to Rp44 million; and PT Tiga Pilar Sejahtera Food Tbk (PT TPSF) amounting to Rp150 billion.

Regarding those enriched from the corporation, all of them have returned to the investigation stage, except for one, PT IIM. Well, because of that, you were asked by friends, 'this is fulfilling the elements or not, this corporation, we see it as the party involved in the crime,' he said.

Previously reported, the KPK developed allegations of corruption in PT Taspen's fictitious investment. As a result, PT Insight Investment Management was named a corporate suspect through a new investigation.

It has not been detailed about the role of the private company. However, this company together with Taspen are suspected of causing the state to lose up to Rp1 trillion due to fictitious investment.

This case began after the KPK appointed the 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 at the state-owned company.

At that time, 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.
