JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to carry out investigations regarding alleged corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Rangon Village, Cipayung District, East Jakarta City, DKI Jakarta Province in 2019.

Acting KPK spokesperson for the field of prosecution Ali Fikri said that apart from collecting evidence, his party will also confirm those suspected of having knowledge of the alleged corruption.

"We will continue to collect evidence and confirm with the parties we will summon and examine as witnesses," Ali said in a written statement, Tuesday, March 9.

Furthermore, Ali gave a leak related to the alleged corruption case which allegedly dragged the Managing Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Pinontoan until he was removed from his position. According to him, the land acquisition was actually carried out for a land bank in DKI Jakarta.

However, the designation is still unclear. Because, there is no plan to use the land. Previously, this land acquisition was linked to the DP Rp 0 house. Well, the KPK is still investigating this.

"So far the land acquisition is for the DKI Jakarta provincial land bank. So there is no designation plan yet," said Ali.

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

After that, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, who had heard this news since Friday, March 5, immediately deactivated Yoory 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.

Regarding the decision made by Anies, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said that his party did this to give Yoory Corneles Pinontoan an opportunity to defend himself in his legal case.

Riza wants to apply the presumption of innocence and give Yoory the opportunity to reveal information with the existing facts and data. Riza also respects the investigation into the alleged corruption case being investigated by the KPK.

"Let us respect the process of all this, anyone's law enforcement later. We will see the results according to the facts on the data in the field based on the results of investigations from the KPK," said Riza.
