JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the Head of the National SAR Agency (Kabasarnas), Marshal Henri Alfiandi, received a facilitation money to approve the arrangement of the auction process. This information was examined by four witnesses, one of which was the Secretary of the President Director of PT Kundah Abadi Utama, Saripah Nurseha. Head of the News Section Ali Fikri said that the giving of this pelicin money began with the arrangement process to win the suspect company Mulsunadi Gunawan. Apart from Saripah, three witnesses were questioned by investigators, namely Marketing of PT Kunji Abadi Utama, Tommy Setyawan; and two staff of PT Dirgantara Elang Sejati Eka Sejati Suri Dayanti and Sony Santana. "The witnesses were present and their knowledge was explored, among others, related to the alleged setting process to win the suspect company MG et al when participating in the project auction at Basarnas," Ali said in a written statement, Tuesday, August 8. The project arrangement to win Mulsunadi was allegedly approved by Henri. However, some money was given. " “ Added to the alleged giving of money to HA and ABC so that the setting process can be approved," said Ali. Ali did not specify how much money was given through Koorsmin Kabasarnas Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto. However, the statements of the four witnesses are believed to have made light of the actions of the suspects in the bribery case for the procurement of the equipment. As previously reported, the anti-corruption commission only uncovered the alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services at Basarnas through a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Tuesday, July 25. From this active action, the KPK announced five people as suspects. The five suspects are Kabasarnas Marshal Henri Alfiandi and Koorsmin Kabasarnas Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto as suspects for receiving bribes. Meanwhile, as the giver is the President Commissioner of PT Multi Grafika Cipta Sejati, Mulsunadi Gunawan (MG), President Director of PT Intertekno Grafika Sejati Marilya and President Director of PT Kindah Abadi Utama Roni Aidil. However, the investigation of this case had a polemic because the KPK was considered to have exceeded the authority of the TNI. Because Henri and Afri are still active members. The KPK also apologized and confirmed that it would only investigate three suspects from the private sector. Meanwhile, Henri and Afri were worked on by POM TNI and have now been thrown into custody.

In this case, Henri is said to have received a fee referred to as a command fund of Rp. 88.3 billion from the private sector from 2021-2023. This acceptance was made through Afri as his subordinate.
