JAKARTA - Pancasila Youth (PP) Chairman Japto Soerjosoemarno fulfilled the call of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today. He was summoned as a witness to the alleged receipt of gratification of a metric ton of coal mines that ensnared the former Regent of Kutai Kartanegara (Kukar) Rita Widyasari.
From VOI's observation, Japto arrived at around 09.38 WIB at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. He appeared accompanied by a number of parties and was reticent about his examination.
"Later ask the investigators. Ask my lawyer," Japto told reporters at the location.
Meanwhile, KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said Japto was still undergoing an examination. There are a number of things that will be investigated, including asset tracking.
"For the summoning of brother JPT, today the investigator has scheduled another examination in his capacity as a witness related to the case of alleged gratification per metric ton of coal in the Kukar area," Budi said in a written statement.
"Among other things, investigators will certainly investigate and trace assets related to the receipt of gratification by the suspects in this case, including alleged elements of money laundering," he continued.
The Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, revealed that Japto allegedly received money from the suspect of the gratification case involving the former Regent of Kutai Kartanegara, Rita Widyasari. He manages the security services of coal mines managed by companies affiliated with Rita.
"Regarding the examination of your brother J, how much or how much money is received every month, so the information we received is indeed given every month," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 11.
The number was not further detailed by Asep. But, he suspected that the money received was related to a community organization (ormas) led by Japto.
As previously reported, the KPK continues to investigate corruption allegations related to coal exports that ensnared Rita Widyasari as the former Regent of Kutai Kartanegara. In fact, non-tax state revenues (PNBP) continue to be scrutinized.
It is suspected that there was a receipt of metric tons of money made by Rita in each coal mine exploration process. This investigation was carried out by the KPK as a gateway to investigate alleged money laundering (TPPU).
In this case, the KPK also named three corporate companies, namely PT Alamjaya Barapratama, PT Sinar Kumala Naga, and PT Bara. These coal companies are suspected of being a means of receiving corrupt money.
