JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked the public to monitor the project bribery case at the National SAR Agency (Basarnas) which ensnared Kabasarnas Marshal TNI Henri Alfiandi. Moreover, this allegation originated from the incoming report.

"We invite the public to continue to monitor and participate in supervising the process of handling this case," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata in a KPK RI YouTube broadcast, Thursday, July 27.

The KPK ensures that this case will be thoroughly investigated. "Moreover, the alleged corruption is related to the procurement of goods and services related to human safety," said Alexander.

As previously reported, Henri was named a suspect in the aftermath of a hand arrest operation (OTT) in Cilangkap, Jakarta and Jatisampurna, Bekasi on Tuesday, July 24.

Henri allegedly earned command funds of up to IDR 88.3 billion. The money was pocketed by private parties who wanted to work on projects at his institution from 2021-2023.

The money receipt is said to be the anti-corruption commission carried out by Henri through Koorsmin Kabasarnas Afri Budi Cahyanto. He is suspected of setting a fee or tribute of 10 percent of the total project value.

Apart from Henri and Afri, the anti-corruption commission also appointed three private parties. They are the President Commissioner of PT Multi Grafika Cipta Sejati Mulsunadi Gunawan, President Director of PT Intertekno Grafika Sejati Marilya, Managing Director of PT Kunji Abadi Utama Roni Aidil.

This case began when Basarnas carried out several projects in 2023. The first project is the procurement of debris victims detection equipment with a contract value of Rp9.9 billion.

Second, the public safety diving equipment procurement project with a contract value of Rp. 17.3 billion. Finally, the procurement of ROV for KN SAR Ganesha is worth Rp. 89.9 billion.
