JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators have examined the former Deputy Chairman of Commission VIII DPR RI Ihsan Yunus.
Through an 8-hour examination yesterday, Thursday, February 25, this PDI-P politician was questioned about the distribution of rations for the provision of COVID-19 social assistance packages (bansos) in Jabodetabek.
"His knowledge has been confirmed about the alleged distribution of social assistance package rations at the Ministry of Social Affairs," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in his written statement, Friday, February 26.
In addition, investigators also deepen their knowledge about the procurement of basic food assistance at the Ministry of Social Affairs which ultimately caught the former Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos), Juliari Peter Batubara.
Ali said that Ihsan's statement had been stated in the investigator's report (BAP).
"And it will be confirmed again in front of a trial which is open to the public," he said.
Previously reported, after being questioned, Ihsan Yunus refused to comment on his examination at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The PDIP policeman said everything had been conveyed to investigators.
"Assalamu'alaikum good night to everyone. The point is I have explained everything to the investigators," said Ihsan Yunus at the KPK building, Jakarta, Thursday, February 25 evening.
Likewise, when asked about the search in his private home and parents' homes, Ihsan refused to answer. He said, everything related to the case that ensnared Juliari Batubara had been submitted to KPK investigators.
"Yes, this is investigative material, so please ask the investigator," said Ihsan who was questioned by the KPK for eight hours.
The same thing was conveyed by Ihsan Yunus regarding the receipt of Brompont bicycles from Juliari Batubara's bribe, Harry Sidabuke. "Ask the investigators," he said.
As for the bribery case for the provision of COVID-19 social assistance in Jabodetabek, the name of the PDI-P politician has repeatedly been heard. In fact, when the reconstruction was carried out, it was revealed that there was a provision of Rp1.53 billion in cash and two units of Brompton bicycles from the bribe-giver businessman, namely Harry Sidabuke through his operator Agustri Yogasmara.
Later, Yogas returned the two bicycles that Harry had given to the KPK and investigators immediately carried out the reconstruction.
Not only that, some time ago the residence of Ihsan's parents was also searched and his younger brother, Muhammad Rakyan Ikram, was also examined by the KPK because it was suspected that he knew about the distribution of rations and distribution of social assistance for COVID-19.
