JAKARTA - Wabendum of the National Winning Team (Timnas) Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Rajiv believes that the investigation team of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is professionally examining him in connection with the corruption case that ensnared former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL). Rajiv, after being questioned by investigators from the anti-corruption commission today, invited the public to assess whether the examination of him was political or not. "Feeling political? I am no comment (not commenting, ed.), let the public judge, but I am sure that the investigative team will become professional. The KPK is professional, we pray, God willing," said Rajiv at the KPK's Red and White Building, Jakarta, Antara, January 30. Rajiv was examined by the KPK in his capacity as a private party and questioned as a witness in the case of alleged extortion and gratification in the Ministry of Agriculture. He admitted that he was questioned with about 10 questions by investigators. "How many outside of the biodata are there, huh? There have been 10 times, yes," said Rajiv. Rajiv was previously summoned by the KPK on Friday (26/1). However, he was unable to attend at that time. "So it was rescheduled (rescheduled, ed.) on Tuesday because there were obstacles. As citizens, we are present. There were several points that were asked by the investigation team, we have explained it clearly," he said. The KPK on Friday, October 13, 2023 officially detained SYL and the Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery of the Ministry of Agriculture Muhammad Hatta (MH) in the alleged corruption case at the Ministry of Agriculture. The two suspects followed the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi Subagyono (KS) who had already been detained on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. The alleged corruption case in the Ministry of Agriculture began when SYL served as Minister of Agriculture for the 2019 period — 2024. With this position, SYL then made personal policies, including making levies to receive deposits from the Ministry of Agriculture's internal ASN to meet personal needs, including its immediate family. SYL's policy to collect until receiving the deposit will take place from 2020 to 2023. SYL instructed the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi Subagyono (KS) and the Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery of the Ministry of Agriculture Muhammad Hatta (MH) to withdraw some money from echelon I and II units.

In the form of cash submission, transfer of bank accounts to gifts in the form of goods or services. At the direction of SYL, the suspects KS and MH ordered their subordinates to collect a sum of money within echelon I, namely the directors general, heads of agencies, to the secretaries of each echelon I with the amount determined by SYL in the range ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 US dollars. The KPK said there was a form of coercion from SYL against ASN in the Ministry of Agriculture, such as being transferred to other work units to disfunctionalize their position status. The receipt of money through KS and MH as representatives of SYL confidants regularly every month using foreign currency denominations. The use of money by SYL, said the KPK, was also known by KS and MH, including for SYL's personal interests, such as credit card installment payments, Alphard car credit, personal home repairs, family tickets, as well as treatment and facial care of his family worth billions of rupiah. Selain itu, Alex mengatakan bahwa penyidik menemukan ada aliran dana dari SYL ke Partai NasDem. Komisi antirasuah juga menemukan adanya penggunaan uang lain oleh SYL bersama KS dan MH untuk ibadah umrah. The suspects are suspected of violating Article 12 letters e and 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code. For SYL suspects, they are also suspected of violating Article 3 and/or 4 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Crime of Money Laundering (TPPU).
