JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined the President Director of PT Hanaveri Sentosa or PT Kota Bintang Rayatri, Handoyo Santoso. From that examination, investigators explored several things, including the alleged flow of money to the inactive Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi or Pepen.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said it was suspected that Pepen had received money from the land project management process for the procurement of polders. The examination of Handoyo was carried out on Wednesday, March 23 yesterday.

"Handoyo Santoso, President Director of PT Hanaveri Sentosa/PT Kota Bintang Rayatri, was present and confirmed, among other things, regarding the management process for the land project for the needs of the Polder and the alleged flow of money to the suspect RE related to the said management," Ali said in a written statement, Thursday, March 24.

Previously reported, Rahmat Effendi or Pepen along with eight other people were named by the KPK as suspects for alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services as well as the auction of positions in the Bekasi City Government.

Pepen with the Secretary of the Investment Office and PTSP, M Bunyamin; Head of Jatisari Village, Mulyadi; Jatisampurna Sub-district Head, Wahyudin; and the Head of the Bekasi City Housing, Settlement and Land Office, Jumhana Lutfi, were named as recipients of bribes.

Meanwhile, the four suspected givers are the Director of PT MAM Energindo, Ali Amril; private party, Lai Bui Min; Director of Bintang Rayatri City, Suryadi; and the sub-district head of Rawalumbu, Makhfud Saifudin.

In this case, the anti-corruption commission suspects that Pepen received billions of rupiah as a commitment fee from the private sector whose land was acquired for a project belonging to the Bekasi City Government and received compensation. However, he called the money a mosque donation code.

In addition to the bribes above, the KPK revealed that Pepen also received money related to project management and contract labor at the Bekasi City Government in the amount of Rp. 30 million. The money was given by the Director of PT MAM Energindo, Ali Amril and received by the Secretary of the Investment Office and PTSP Bekasi City, M Bunyamin.

Furthermore, he received some money from employees at the Bekasi City Government in exchange for their position. However, it did not specify how much money the Golkar Party politician received.
