"To speed up the investigation process, suspect AM was detained at the Central Jakarta Detention Center for 20 days from August 11 to August 30," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, August 11.

Previous investigators, on March 29, 2022, had named two suspects, namely Maryoso Sumaryono as the former President Director and Chairman of the Investment Committee of PT Taspen Life, and Hasti Sriwahyuni, as the Beneficial Owner Group of PT Sekar Wijaya, including PT PRM which issued the Medium Term Note ( MTN) Priority Finance in 2017.

He explained, in October 2017, PT Asuransi Jiwa Taspen which is a subsidiary of PT Taspen (Persero) invested in the Medium Term Note (MTN) PT Prioritas Raditya Multifinance (PT PRM) which has a rating (non-investment grade). through the Fund Management Contact managed by PT Emco Asset Management worth Rp150 billion.

In offering MTN to Taspen Life, suspects HS (beneficial owner of PT PRM) and Maaruf have presented PT PRM's financial statements that are not in accordance with the actual situation so that PT PRM's financial statements look good.

"The PT PRM MTN investment made by Taspen Life violates OJK Regulation Number 71/POJK.05/2016 concerning Financial Health of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Taspen Life's Investment Policy," said Sumedana.

PT PRM's MTN investment violates the rules because PT PRM's MTN does not yet have an investment grade rating issued by a securities rating company recognized by the OJK. Then, neither MTN nor KPD are allowed investment instruments in Taspen Life's investment portfolio.

PT PRM as the issuer of MTN does not have good financial fundamentals, namely with a Dept Equality Ratio (DER-ratio of debt to capital) of less than one.

In its implementation, it turned out that the MTN investment funds by PT PRM were not used by Maaruf as originally planned for the issuance of MTN, namely for business capital and accelerated debt payments as stated in the MTN information memorandum. under the holding of PT Sekar Wijaya belonging to the suspect HS, causing PT PRM's MTN to default with a total unpaid obligation of approximately Rp161.6 billion.

The Head of the Penal Law said that efforts to settle the payment of MTN obligations were carried out by selling the collateral land, but the funds used for the payment of the collateral land belonged to PT Asuransi Jiwa Taspen which subscribed through several mutual funds which were then used as if to buy MTN collateral land.

As a result of the deviation of PT Asuransi Jiwa Taspen's investment in PT PRM's MTN through KPD managed by PT Emco Asset Management, it resulted in state financial losses of Rp. 133.78 billion.

AM is suspected of violating articles namely Article 2 and Article 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law.
