JAKARTA - The Director of Investigations of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Dirdik Jampidsus) of the Attorney General's Office, Supardi, has emphasized his commitment to eradicating corruption within the Attorney General's Office through the work they have done.
Since being sworn in last August as Dirdik Jampidsus, at least 22 people have been detained in connection with corruption cases handled by his office.
"Actually, if the commitment is not just words, we have to see the reality, what have we done," Supardi said when confirmed in Jakarta, Thursday, December 9.
Supardi said that the public can see the work of the Attorney General's Office in efforts to eradicate corruption through the results of research by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW).
ICW's release on September 12, 2021 on Data on the Performance Achievement of Law Enforcement Officials in Semester I (January to June 2021) in eradicating criminal acts of corruption stated that the performance of taking action against corruption cases by law enforcement institutions (the prosecutor's office, the National Police, and the KPK) during Semester I 2021 was only 209 cases with the determination of 482 suspects.
The potential loss to the state is Rp. 26,830 trillion, or only 19 percent of the target for prosecution of all law enforcement officers as many as 2,217 cases and is ranked E.
Based on the ICW data, the prosecutor's office handled 151 corruption cases (53 percent) of the target 285 cases with state financial losses of IDR 26.1 trillion and included in the sufficient category (C).
Meanwhile, the National Police got a very bad score (E) with handling 45 cases, 82 suspects from the target of 763 cases (5.9 percent) and saving state losses of IDR 388 billion.
He said that the KPK received a bad category (D) by handling 13 cases, 37 suspects, from a target of 60 cases (22 percent) and saving state financial losses of Rp. 331 billion.
"When asked how many cases have been handled, I don't remember. What is clear is that during my time on duty from August 22 people have been detained," said Supardi, who is also the former Director of Prosecution of the KPK.
Supardi said the 22 suspects came from a number of corruption cases handled by the Attorney General's Office, such as the Asabri mega-corruption and the corruption case in the purchase of natural gas by the Regional-Owned Enterprises for the Regional Mining and Energy Company (PDPDE) for South Sumatra Gas for the 2010-2019 period.
In addition, corruption cases in the implementation of national export financing by the Indonesian Export Financing Agency (LPEI) in 2013-2019 and corruption in the provision of fees to Askrindo's subsidiary, PT Askrindo Mitra Utama (AMU).
During that time, said Supardi, the Attorney General's Office has returned state losses from a number of cases handled in nominal terms, including IDR 18.3 trillion, then USD 762,900 and USD 32,000.
"This nominal is outside the execution of Indonsat IM2, so there is IDR 18.3 trillion plus 762,900 US dollars and 32,000 Singapore dollars, that was first," said Supardi.
