JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, emphasized that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will provide legal assistance to the Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan. Yoory was named a suspect in the alleged corruption in the purchase of land for the IDR 0 DP House.

"There is a mechanism (in providing legal assistance). So, the mechanism for providing assistance is in accordance with the regulations," said Deputy Governor Riza at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta, Monday, March 8.

Meanwhile, Acting Head of DKI Jakarta Regional-Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD), Riyadi said that his party would coordinate with the DKI Legal Bureau regarding plans to provide legal assistance.

However, Riyadi said, Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya also has a legal assistance team for resources in DKI BUMDs.

"I think there will be. I coordinate first with the legal bureau. There is also Sarana Jaya. As a rule, it is possible to provide legal assistance for BUMD HR with legal problems," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK confirmed that it was conducting an investigation into the alleged corruption case of land purchase for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's IDR 0 DP Program by DKI Jakarta BUMDs.

"It is true after two sufficient preliminary pieces of evidence were found, the KPK is currently carrying out investigations into alleged TPK related to land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Rangon Village, Cipayung District, East Jakarta City, DKI Jakarta Province in 2019," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali. Fikri.

Anies Baswedan heard this news since last Friday, March 5. Without waiting long, he deactivated Yoory C. Pinontoan from the position of President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya.

"The governor at that time immediately made a decision to deactivate the person concerned. In this case, Yoory will follow the legal process by adhering to the presumption of innocence," said the Acting Head of BP BUMD for DKI Jakarta Province, Riyadi.
