AGO Building (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has not detailed the identities of the 7 potential suspects in the alleged corruption case of PT. Asuransi Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia (ASABRI).

"(The suspect) is from the private sector," said Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah at the Bundar Building, AGO, Wednesday, January 27.

Febrie said, in the near future it is possible that the AGO will conduct a court title for the alleged corruption case of ASABRI. Later in this court title, we will determine the suspect.

"(Title case) Maybe next week," he said.

Attorney General S.T. Burhanuddin delivered information about the 7 potential suspects in a joint working meeting with Commission III of the House of Representative (DPR). These potential suspects emerged after the investigation process.

"We have examined 18 witnesses and there are already seven potential suspects," said Burhanuddin, Tuesday, January 26.

However, Burhanuddin did not specify the identities of the 7 suspected suspects. However, the number of potential suspects can still be increased because investigations are still ongoing.

"(The number of suspects, red) can still grow again because it is still being investigated and we cannot yet convey the names of the suspects," he said.

For information, from 2012 to 2019, PT. Asabri has worked with several parties to regulate and control Asabri's investment funds in share purchase investments of IDR 10 trillion through affiliated parties and IDR 13 trillion investment in mutual funds.

This was done through several investment management companies (MI) in a way that deviated from the provisions of the prevailing laws and regulations.

The act is suspected to have resulted in state financial losses as stipulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes.
