JAKARTA - The former president of the Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) charity foundation, Ahyudin, has completed his examination. The police are said to have started exploring the aid funds for the victims of the Lion Air JT-610 plane crash.

"The outline is the form of the program that was mandated by Boeing to ACT," said Ahyudin to reporters, Monday, July 11.

In the examination which lasted for 12 hours, Ahyudin also explained that the assistance from the aircraft company that was distributed through ACT was not in the form of cash but was oriented towards the construction of public facilities.

"(Aid, ed) It is in the form of a public health program, the provision of public facilities. So it is not money that is given to the heirs," he explained.

"Not in a context like insurance. Don't understand it like that. Here is the context of a collaborative program that is a collaboration between Boeing and ACT," continued Ahyudin.

The form of public facilities in question is the construction of educational facilities such as madrasas. Then, the means of worship, namely, mosques and prayer rooms.

In fact, according to Ahyudin, the construction process has reached 75 percent. However, in fact, he could not confirm it on the grounds that since January 2022 he had not served at the charitable foundation.

"My guess is above 75 percent. I'm sure until January 11th, if I'm not mistaken, it will be 70 percent," said Ahyudin.

This examination is the second time. This is because the police previously thought that Ahyudin's statement was still needed to investigate the alleged misappropriation of aid for the victims of Lion Air JT-610.

During the examination which took place on Friday, July 8, Ahyudi was also questioned for 12 hours. However, it is still about the legality of the ACT Foundation.

The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police is investigating allegations of misappropriation of aid funds by ACT Foundation administrators. This deviation occurred during the distribution of aid to the heirs of the victims of the Lion Air JT-610 plane crash that occurred in 2018.

The alleged deviation was said to have been made by former ACT President Ahyudin and ACT President Ibnu Khajar. They are suspected of using aid funds for personal gain.
