JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination of the Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) Boyamin Saiman regarding the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU) which ensnared the inactive Banjarnegara Regent Budhi Sarwono.

Boyamin will be examined by investigators in his capacity as a witness. He is scheduled for questioning today, Monday, April 25.

"Boyamin, Director of PT Bumi Rejo is being questioned as a witness for the suspect BS," said Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, to reporters on Monday, April 25.

It is not yet known what examination materials will be asked of Boyamin. However, he is suspected of knowing about the allegations that ensnared Budhi Sarwono.

Regarding this summons, Boyamin said that he had not received a summons from the KPK. In fact, as a person who frequently reports allegations of corruption, he often communicates with these institutions.

"I haven't received a call, email or WhatsApp. Even though it's usually easy for the KPK to contact me via email and WhatsApp," he said when confirmed via text message.

Boyamin said he would certainly come if properly summoned by the KPK. "I am now in Solo. If there is a real call, I will immediately go to Jakarta and come to the KPK on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning," he said.

"In principle, I will come whenever I am called," added Boyamin.

Furthermore, Boyamin agreed that he did know Budhi Sarwono, who is now a KPK suspect. The two have known each other since 2010.

"I first knew him from his older brother, Budhi Yuwono. Then he continued to be the legal representative of his parents' family company," he explained.

"However, since Budhi Sarwono became the regent, the company's shares were completely withdrawn, the shares belonged to his parents and Budi Sarwono had no shares and was not a manager," added Boyamin.

As previously reported, the KPK has named Budhi Sarwono as a suspect in the money laundering crime (TPPU). The decision was made after investigators developed a bribery case at the PUPR Service and the gratification that ensnared him some time ago.

In this case, Budi is alleged to have hidden his wealth from the two corruption crimes and converted it into assets in the form of movable or immovable property. In addition, the KPK has confiscated assets worth Rp. 10 billion.
