JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated assets belonging to one of the suspects in the Bank Indonesia (BI) case and the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Satori, who is a NasDem Party legislator.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the forced effort was made on Tuesday, November 4. The confiscated assets were in the form of land and buildings, ambulances and wheelchairs.

"Investigators confiscated two plots of land and buildings, two ambulances, two Toyota ELP and Toyota Kijang cars, 1 motorbike and 18 wheelchairs," Budi told reporters quoted Thursday, November 6.

Budi said this asset was confiscated by investigators because it was suspected to have come from corruption in the BI-OJK CSR funds. "Where the total value of the assets is around Rp. 10 billion," he said.

"The confiscation was carried out in Cirebon from the suspect ST. This forced effort is a progressive step for investigators to support the evidence of the case as well as a positive first step in an optimal asset recovery," continued Budi.

Previously reported, the KPK officially announced the legislators of the DPR from the NasDem Satori Party faction and Heri Gunawan as legislators of the DPR from the Gerindra Party faction as suspects in the alleged corruption of BI-OJK 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.

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.
