JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) will investigate the alleged involvement of other parties in the alleged gratification case that ensnared Maryono, the former President Director of Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN).

Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Ardiansyah, said the parties involved in the case development plan included the directors when Maryono took the lead.

"Corruption is a process, the process definitely involves several positions. So this is what we will examine later, where the processing goes through these stages," Febrie told reporters, Thursday, October 8.

Not only developing to internal BTN, investigators will also develop external parties. This is because Maryono is suspected of accepting bribes from PT Titanium Property and PT Pelangi Putera Mandiri, which amounted to Rp. 870 million and Rp. 2.275 billion, respectively.

"Our examination is not only on this credit. Of course, as a whole we open it, there is no involvement of other parties. Corruption cannot be single, there must be several parties," said Febrie.

So far, the alleged gratification is related to the search for credit facilities for the two companies. Later, the investigation also did not rule out the possibility of developing other criminal acts of corruption.

"We are currently deepening this, gratuity is just an entrance, we will see there is evidence, after that we will see it during the process of taking office," he said.

Maryono, who at that time served as the President Director of BTN, was suspected of encouraging the provision of credit facilities even though it was not in accordance with the applicable SOP for BTN for PT Titanium Property and PT Pelangi Putera Mandiri.

For this act, Maryono was suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or Article 12 letter b or Article 5 paragraph (2) in conjunction with paragraph (1) letter a or letter b or Article 11 of Law Number 31 Year 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption jo.
