JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not been able to detail the exact figure of state losses incurred in the alleged corruption of fictitious investments at PT Taspen (Persero). They are still waiting for the calculation of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP). This was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri in response to the exact figure of state losses caused by the state-owned company. So far hundreds of billion are the initial indications.'' So far, once again, this indication can be very likely to develop when the investigation process is running and has been fixed in number by other agencies, BPKP for example, Ali said to reporters quoted on Thursday, March 14. The number of fixes will have a state loss counting letter,'' he continued.' In addition, investigators will also wait for other calculations from experts. So there is a process there first,'' he said. Previously, the anti-corruption commission confirmed the corruption case in PT Taspen (Persero) had already gone up to the investigation stage. It is suspected that fictitious investments occurred that caused state losses around 2019.KPK have searched seven locations in the investigation process.
