Attorney General ST Burhanuddin said he would convey the development of the problem of two Pension Funds (Dapen) for State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) which are indicated to be corruption in the near future.

The handling of dapen cases is known based on a direct report from the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir.

"Actually, it's just a matter of implementation, we and the Minister of SOEs will immediately meet to hand over (developed handling)," said Burhanuddin to reporters at the BPKP office, Jakarta, Monday, March 4.

However, if there are time constraints, it is possible that later the handover of the results or developments of the handling will be carried out by the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus).

Meanwhile, SOE Minister Erick Thohir, who was also questioned regarding a report from the Attorney General's Office (AGO) regarding the development of the problem, was reluctant to elaborate.

It is only said that his party is still waiting for this matter. However, it was confirmed that the AGO had followed up on the report.

"Oh yes, later on, Mr. JA (Jaksa Agung) has conveyed, Mr. Ate has already worked, wait for the process. Yes, if you can do the Kemantin week, but it's a process. Be patient," said Erick.

Previously, Erick Thohir reported two cases of alleged corruption in BUMN pension funds to the AGO for follow-up.

However, Erick admitted that he was reluctant to reveal to the public the report to the Attorney General's Office. He said this was to prevent allegations of political elements.

The two of them have been given (to the AGO), are still being studied again. Only yesterday I didn't do it like yesterday (the press conference), I'm afraid I'm suspected of being political. So I'm silent," he said.

Erick said that the two reported lists were additional. Previously, seven SOE pension funds had been reported.

"At that time I reported 7, added 2, so 9," said Erick.
