JAKARTA - Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Asep Guntur Rahayu asked Polda Metro Jaya to thoroughly investigate the allegations of fraud and embezzlement by Linda Susanti.
This request came after Linda reported investigators from the anti-corruption commission to various parties, including the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police with allegations of embezzling assets in the form of gold to Singapore dollar denominations worth IDR 700 billion.
According to Asep, this investigation is important because his party also has evidence in the form of a report letter to the Polda Metro Jaya from parties related to bribery cases for case management and money laundering (TPPU) former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan.
"So when we searched, we found a police report, which was reported by someone to the Metro Police. What was reported was Linda's brother," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, December 5.
"The contents of the report, the contents of the report are that sister Linda has committed fraud against the person," he continued.
The person who was not named by Asep is suspected of giving some money with the aim that Linda can help close Hasbi Hasan's case at the KPK. In the form of dollars and five gold sticks, one kilo each, so five kilos," he explained.
All of this information, continued Asep, was found in the current reporting document that was already in the hands of investigators. "So we also actually encourage the Polda Metro, please handle this properly," said Asep, who also serves as Director of KPK Investigation.
"Because most likely, what was reported, what Linda's brother is currently conveying is that it was the items that were confiscated on us. We did not confiscate these items," he said.
Instead of confiscating gold until other items called Linda reached Rp700 billion, Asep said, his subordinates only confiscated documents. He also ensured that this forced effort had documentation and that official news was made according to operational standards.
"Then one of them will be given a certificate of receipt of confiscation of evidence. We will confiscate the items that we will confiscate. The receipts are then given to whom we confiscated the items are from," he explained.
From a number of reports, Linda Susanti is known to have been reported to Polda Metro Jaya by an employee of the Supreme Court (MA), Muhammad Sulaiman on October 28, 2023. She was accused of embezzling foreign money and gold bullion which was planned to be handed over to KPK officials for the 2019-2024 period.
Linda, who is referred to by Sulaiman as a close person to Firli Bahuri, admitted that she could stop Hasbi Hasan's case.
The report was then followed up by the Polda Metro Jaya by summoning Linda on March 1, 2024. However, this case then had no clarity.
Meanwhile, Hasbi Hasan has now been found guilty in a bribery case in case of case management and is serving a sentence at the Sukamiskin Prison in Bandung, West Java. The alleged money laundering offense that ensnared him is being handled.
