JAKARTA - The founder of Century Properties Group, Tan Kian has been secured by the police at his residence on the 31st floor of the Pacific Place Residence Apartment, Jakarta.
Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol. Budi Hermanto, has not been able to provide an explanation about Tan Kian's relationship in the three cases of alleged corruption being handled. However, he emphasized that Tan Kian's current status is not a suspect.
"The detention of Tan Kian is a step to examine witnesses. We have examined 15 witnesses, one of which is Tan Kian whose status is still a witness," Budi said in a press conference at his office, Friday (10/7).
The three cases are cases of alleged corruption and money laundering in PLN; alleged corruption in Asabri and Jiwasraya 2020-2025; and alleged money laundering in the process of settling PT CBS's debt to PT Krakatau Niaga Indonesia (KNI).
The Attorney General's Office had linked Tan Kian's name to two cases, namely the corruption of PT Asabri in 1995-2000 and the Asabri corruption in 2012-2019. Law enforcement found that Tan Kian was suspected of acting as a property provider to launder money from the corruption of both cases.
In the Asabri 2012-2019 corruption case, Tan Kian was suspected of being involved with the convict Benny Tjokro in the construction of the South Hills luxury apartment in Kuningan, South Jakarta. In this case, Tan Kian provided land with a clean free and clear status for the construction of the project.
