JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still pursuing assets belonging to Satori and Heri Gunawan legislators who are suspects in the CSR Bank Indonesia (BI)-Financial Services Authority (OJK) corruption case.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the assets currently being sought were allegedly bought with corruption money. Thus, the search that led to the confiscation will be carried out.

"So this is indeed a lot of assets allegedly related to the criminal act of corruption in the processing of social programs at Bank Indonesia and OJK," Budi told reporters, Friday, October 17.

"So that investigators are still intensely conducting searches and confiscation of allegedly related assets," he continued.

Furthermore, Budi said, the pursuit of these assets is important for the anti-corruption commission to recover state losses. Thus, the two suspects have not yet been detained.

"This means that the KPK is not only concerned about how to provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators but also the KPK is concerned about restoring state finances," he said.

"So that when there are elements of asset hiding that are suspected to have come from the predicate of crime, namely from the criminal act of corruption, then the KPK will continue to search for these assets with the imposition of money laundering offenses," continued 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. Both are suspected of receiving gratuities and committing money laundering (TPPU).

Satori is suspected of receiving a total of IDR 12.52 billion in this case. The details are IDR 6.30 billion from BI; IDR 5.14 billion from OJK through Financial Counseling activities; and IDR 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.
