JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the DKI DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Rani Mauliani, confirmed that her member's office, Mohamad Taufik, at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building was also searched by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) team.
Rani said M. Taufik's office was empty during the search. This is because the person concerned has submitted his resignation as a Gerindra Party cadre a few months ago.
Currently, M. Taufik is also undergoing treatment because of his lung cancer. So, both M. Taufik and his personal belongings are no longer in his former office.
"According to information, it is like that (search in M. Taufik's room). But, as far as I know, Pak MT's room is currently empty as he resigns. Personal goods are gone," Rani said in a short message, Wednesday, January 18.
During yesterday's search, Rani admitted that she was not at the DKI DPRD Building. So, he could not explain further about the KPK search in his faction's room.
"Yesterday I also happened not to be in the DPRD, so yes, we just follow the process according to the applicable procedure," he said.
Yesterday, the KPK team searched the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building on Jalan Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta for about 5 hours. At around 20.55 WIB, the KPK team wearing masks came out carrying a number of suitcases. In a hurry, they immediately got into the car and left the location.
During the search, the DKI DPRD Building was under tight guard by inside security officers (pamdals). Access to entry to two buildings within the DKI DPRD is closed.
Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building that his party had searched six rooms at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building.
Based on information circulating, the KPK searched a number of rooms, including the Commission C room for the Finance Division of the DKI Jakarta DPRD to the DKI Jakarta DPRD Faction room.
During this search, the KPK tried to find evidence of alleged corruption in land acquisition in Pulogebang, Cakung, East Jakarta by Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya in 2018-2019.
It is suspected that there has been a state loss of up to hundreds of billions of rupiah. However, the calculation is still ongoing. In addition, the anti-corruption commission has not announced the suspect in this case. The announcement will be made after all the evidence is collected.
"At least 6 rooms were searched including the workspace on the 10th floor, 8, 6, 4, 2nd floor and the staff of Commission C of the DKI Jakarta DPRD," said Ali.
Ali did not want to specify which rooms the investigators ransacked. However, in the DKI DPRD Building, the 10th floor is the workspace of the Chairperson of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, the 8th floor of the PDIP Faction room, the 6th floor of the PKS Faction room, the 4th floor of the Golkar Faction room, the 2nd floor of the Gerindra Faction room, and the room of Commission C of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.
Furthermore, Ali said, from this activity investigators found a number of evidences such as documents and electronic evidence allegedly related to alleged corruption in land acquisition in Pulogebang, East Jakarta.
"The Investigative Team found various documents and electronic evidence, including those allegedly related to the process of discussing and approving capital participation in Perumda SJ in the DKI Jakarta DPRD which was then used for land acquisition in Pulogebang, Jakarta," he said.
The KPK ensures that this evidence can shed light on the actions of the suspects. However, Ali did not want to reveal who the suspects had cost the country hundreds of billions.
Disclosure of the suspect will be carried out at the right time and accompanied by forced detention. "So far, the KPK has found preliminary evidence that there are allegations of unlawful acts, including parties that can be accounted for as suspects," he said.
"This case is related to allegations of corruption related to state financial losses. So far it is suspected that hundreds of billions of rupiah have been involved," Ali continued.
