JAKARTA - The KPK has started an investigation into a case of alleged corruption with a fictitious investment mode at PT Taspen (Persero).

"It is true, with the follow-up of public reports related to allegations of corruption under the authority of the KPK, evidence is currently being collected related to investigations into alleged corruption in fictitious investment activities at PT Taspen (Persero) for the 2019 fiscal year," said Ali Fikri at the KPK's Merah Putih building, South Jakarta, Wednesday, May 8.

The alleged corruption case is also suspected of involving several other companies and is estimated to have caused state financial losses of up to hundreds of billions of rupiah.

Ali revealed that the KPK investigating team had named a number of parties as suspects in the case.

However, in accordance with the policy of the anti-corruption agency, the parties designated as suspects and the complete description of the case will be presented when the suspects are detained.

"The construction of the case that ensnared the parties designated as suspects, including anyone who is a suspect, has not been able to announce it to the public until we consider all stages of collecting evidence to be sufficient," he said.

However, the KPK said that it had imposed foreign prevention on two people consisting of one state administrator and one private party.

During the investigation process, said Ali, the KPK had searched seven locations, including five locations that were searched, including two houses in Cipinang Besar Selatan, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, one house in Menteng District, Central Jakarta, one house in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, and one apartment unit at Belleza Apartment, South Jakarta.

During the search, evidence was found, including documents or records of financial investment, electronic devices and a sum of money in foreign currency denominations which are suspected to later explain the alleged actions of the suspects.

Meanwhile, two other locations were searched on Friday (26/4), namely the office of a private party located at Office 8 Building SCBD, South Jakarta and the Office of PT Taspen (Persero), Central Jakarta.
