Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the flow of money suspected of being related to alleged corruption in land acquisition in Pulo Gebang, East Jakarta will continue to be investigated. Including, the alleged transaction carried out by the boss of PT TEZ Capital and Finance, Arwin Rasyid with one of the suspects.

"We are currently investigating where or where the proceeds from the crime (alleged corruption in land acquisition in Pulo Gebang, ed). So Mr. AR, there is a transaction where we have to prove the transaction," Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, September 15.

Asep did not elaborate further on the transaction. However, he ensured that an in-depth investigation would be carried out to ensure whether or not the process was valid.

"If the money flows in a valid context, for example there is a sale and purchase, yes, of course we also respect the agreement," he said.

"If it is not legal, yes, it is part of the corruption crime that we are handling," continued Asep.

In the future, Asep said that Arwin had the opportunity to be questioned again if needed in this case. "We will see the results of this (the last examination, ed). We see whether it is sufficient or not, we will inform you (about the summons, ed)," he said.

Previously, the Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri, said that Arwin had been asked about the budget inflation and the alleged flow of money from the suspects when questioned on Thursday, September 7. This step was taken because investigators suspected that there was a similar pattern to the corruption case in land acquisition in Munjul, East Jakarta.

The suspect in the alleged corruption in land acquisition in Pulo Gebang has not been announced. However, information circulated that former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles Pinontoan and Rudy Hartono Iskandar (RHI) as Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) were again entangled in this case.

"Of course the investigation is because this is the same allegation as previously sentenced in Munjul. There is a mark-up, there is an alleged flow of money, yes, around that which was then investigated," said Ali.

Ali ensured that Arwin's statement would be further investigated. The KPK will look for where the money from corruption flows and open up opportunities to determine other articles, such as money laundering (TPPU) if sufficient evidence is found.

The application of this additional article, continued Ali, aims to optimize asset returns. "So (the punishment, red) is more optimal not only prison but there is a confiscation process and others," he said.
