Deputy Chairman of KPK Nurul Ghufron/DOK VOI- Wardhany Tsa Tsia

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron said his party would follow up on reports of alleged corruption with the reported two children of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Kaesang Pangarep.

Ghufron said whoever the reported party was, the KPK was ready to investigate. Provided that the alleged crime is within the authority of the institution.

"KPK does not see whose child, does not see whose father is. The KPK will follow up according to the procedures for the provisions of the law and the SOP at the KPK to investigate further," said Ghufron at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, January 11. .

Even so, the KPK will continue to review and verify incoming reports. This is important to know so that the report is feasible or not to be investigated further.

"Whether it is appropriate to be investigated or not, after being investigated and then exposed to fingerprints or not. The investigation will only go up to prosecution or not, the verdict, trial, and so on," said Ghufron.

"So the KPK will carry out the process according to the provisions of the law and SOPs. Not because of who was reported and who reported it," he added.

Previously reported, Gibran and Kaesang were reported by Ubedilah for being suspected of corruption and money laundering (TPPU).

"This report is related to allegations of corruption and/or money laundering (TPPU) related to allegations of KKN in business relations between the president's son and a business group suspected of being involved in forest fires," Ubedilah told reporters, Monday, January 10.

The incident, called Ubedilah, began in 2015. At that time, there was a large company named PT SM which was already a suspect in forest fires and had been sued by the Ministry of Environment for a value of Rp. 7.9 trillion.

The Supreme Court (MA) then only granted the claim of Rp. 78 billion. Ubedilah said this happened after President Jokowi's son formed a joint company with a high-ranking subsidiary of PT SM in February 2019.

With this condition, the allegations of corruption, collusion and nepotism very clearly involve Gibran, Kaesang, and the children of PT SM officials because of an injection of capital investment funds from a venture company.

"Twice, funds have been disbursed. The figure is approximately Rp. 99.3 billion in the near future. After that, the president's son bought shares in a company whose figure is also quite fantastic at Rp. 92 billion," said Ubedilah.

"And that for us is a big question mark, can a young person who has just set up a company easily get a capital investment with a quite fantastic figure if he is not the president's son," he added.
