JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata denied that his agency was fighting with the Attorney General's Office (AGO) to handle allegations of corruption at the Indonesian Export Financing Agency (LPEI). The announcement was made with the aim of preventing the duplication of the work of law enforcement officials. It is known that the Attorney General's Office also received a report from the Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani some time ago regarding allegations of corruption at LPEI. There are a number of companies that are said to have carried out fraudulent practices. “ Not fighting over each other. Yesterday I told you so that there would be no duplication in case handling, ” Alexander told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 20. Alexander again explained that the alleged corruption at LPEI, which is now being handled by the anti-corruption commission, has been in the process for about a year. “ We did it at the investigation level, "” he said. "From the results of this investigation, the KPK decided to increase the status of the LPEI case to an investigation," said Alexander. “ And this also concerns public trust in the KPK, "” he said. "They reported to the KPK what the KPK's actions were like. Don't let it be ignored, that's it," continued Alexander. In the future, the anti-corruption commission is said to be coordinating with the Attorney General's Office. They will find out whether there is a case slice between Sri Mulyani and her investigation. Including finding out about the company involved in this case. “ But if it is related to the LPEI we will not be able to release it because in the credit there is a role from LPEI, the management, for example, analyzes whether the company deserves credit,” he said.

Previously reported, the KPK said that LPEI had made the state lose up to Rp766,705,455,000. It is suspected that there was corruption related to the financing process by the state-owned company. This state loss began with the provision of export working capital loans (KMKE) by LPEI. However, the process was carried out less carefully and did not pay attention to the condition of the debtor.
