JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will check the wealth report of the Head of the South Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) Sarjono Turin. The checks were made after the total wealth of the former Head of the Southeast Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office was the same in 2019-2020.

Not only that, this effort was also made because Sarjono had not reported his wealth again. In fact, the KPK requires each official to submit a periodic state administrator's wealth report (LHKPN).

"Later it will be checked by friends at the LHKPN Team first," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri when confirmed, Saturday, August 26.

Previously, Sarjono's wealth report was uploaded by the X account, @logicapoliticalist. This anonymous account revealed that the subordinate of Attorney General ST Burhanuddin last delivered LHKPN in 2020 while serving as Head of the Southeast Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office.

"Sarjono Turin is indeed a bit different. During the time of an official like him, the last LHKPN reported in 2020," he was quoted as saying from a thread made by @logiskapolitid on Friday, August 25.

This account also questions whether there are netizens who believe Sarjono only has assets of IDR 1.6 billion.

It didn't stop there, @logiskapolitid also questioned the similarity of Sarjono's assets in the 2019 and 2020 period reports. "This is even more funny," wrote the X account.

"LHKPN reported in 2019 and 2020 has the exact same figure of Rp1,657,555,082," he said.

Meanwhile, seen from the 2020 LHKPN, Sarjono reported ownership of 14 lands and land and buildings spread across the Jambi, Tangerang, and Bogor areas. All of these assets have a total of IDR 1,061,791,000.

Then, Sarjono also reported a means of transportation in the form of a 2016 Toyota Innova minibus; 1997l Mercedes Benz C200 sedan and a 2012 Mitsubushi Pajero SUV; and two motorbikes namely Honda and Yamaha R2. This asset has a value of IDR 445 million.

Next, Sarjono has other movable assets worth Rp. 10 million; cash and cash equivalents Rp. 139,964,082. He was not recorded as having debts so that his assets reached Rp. 1,657,555,082.

Meanwhile, in 2019, Sarjono reported his wealth when he was still in the position of Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office. The amount and details of his assets are no different from the report submitted in 2020.
