JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators summoned the Chairman of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) Agung Firman Sampurna and BPK Deputy Chairman Agus Joko Pramono.

Both of them will be questioned as witnesses in the investigation of the alleged bribery case for the drinking water supply system (SPAM) construction project at the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) for the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year.

"The two of them will be questioned as witnesses for the suspect LJP (Leonardo Jusminarta Prasetyo / President Commissioner of PT Minarta Dutahutama)," said Acting KPK spokesman for prosecution Ali Fikri, Monday, December 7.

They have a strong suspicion that they know, see or hear about this case. This is because a witness was examined because he was suspected of knowing the case. However, Ali was reluctant to elaborate on the connection and what investigators would ask the two witnesses. Because it has been included in the investigation material.

In this case, the KPK named Leonardo and former BPK RI member Rizal Djalil as new suspects in the development of a suspected bribery case related to the SPAM project, where 8 people had previously been convicted.

Rizal's involvement in this case began when he as a member of the IV BPK RI signed a letter of assignment to conduct an examination at the SPAM Directorate of the Ministry of PUPR.

The assignment letter is to carry out Examination with Specific Purposes of Water Supply and Wastewater Sanitation Infrastructure Management at the Directorate General of Human Settlements of the Ministry of PUPR and Related Agencies in 2014, 2015 and 2016 in the Provinces of DKI Jakarta, East Java, Central Java, West Kalimantan and Jambi.

Initially, it was suspected that the findings from the investigation amounted to Rp. 18 billion, but later it turned out to be around Rp. 4.2 billion.

Previously, the Director of SPAM received a message that there was a request for money related to the audit conducted by the BPK RI, amounting to IDR 2.3 billion.

The suspect, Rizal, is suspected of having summoned the SPAM Director to his office, then said that there would be a party representing him to meet with the SPAM Director. Then Rizal's representative came to the SPAM Director and said that he wanted to participate in the implementation / project activities within the SPAM Directorate.

The project of interest is the Hungary Main Distribution Network (JDU) SPAM project with a budget ceiling of IDR 79.27 billion.

Then the Hungarian JDU SPAM project was undertaken by PT Minarta Dutahutama. In this company, the suspect Leonardo is the President Commissioner. Previously, around 2015/2016 the suspect Leonardo was introduced to Rizal in Bali by an intermediary.

Leonardo introduced himself as a project contractor at the PUPR Ministry. Through an intermediary, Leanordo said that he would hand over Rp1.3 billion in Singapore dollars for Rizal through another party.

The money was eventually handed over to Rizal through one of the family's parties, namely 100 thousand Singapore dollars in 1,000 Singapore dollars or 100 notes in the parking lot of a shopping center in South Jakarta.
