JAKARTA - Former National SAR Agency (Basarnas) Max Rudand Boseke has no longer served as Head of the PDIP Disaster Management Agency (Baguna). He has resigned since July 10, 2023.

This decision is contained in Internal Letter Number 5278/IN/DPP/2023 signed by PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP DPP Chair Djarot Saiful Hidayat.

"Together, the PDI-P DPP approved the resignation of you from your position as Head of the PDI-P Center Disaster Management Agency (Baguna)," the letter was quoted as saying on Tuesday, July 25.

"The PDI-P DPP expresses its gratitude for its performance and dedication to the party during its time as Head of the PDI-P Center Disaster Management Agency (Baguna) for its 2019-2024 service period," the article continued.

Previously reported, the KPK detained former Sestama Basarnas who is also the Head of the PDIP Disaster Management Agency (Baguna) Max Rudand Boseke for the first 20 days on Tuesday, June 25. He was caught in a corruption case in the procurement of trucks at the National SAR Agency (Basarnas).

"As of June 25, 2024, to July 14, 2024. The detention was carried out at the KPK branch detention center," said Asep Guntur Rahayu, Director of KPK's Investigation at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

The detention was also carried out on two other suspects. They are Anjar Sulistiyono who is a Commitment Making Officer (PPK) who is also the Head of Sub-Directorate for Prosecution and Briefing of the Directorate of Facilities and Infrastructure of Basarnas and William Sidarta who is the Director of CV Delima Mandiri.

In this case, the three of them allegedly cost the state up to Rp20.4 billion. Max is said to have received Rp2.5 billion which was then used for his personal interests to buy ornamental fish.

This acceptance was carried out by Max from William. The three suspects were then suspected of Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
