JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is conducting a review of the Asri Agung Putra State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) which is an official at the Attorney General's Office. This was conveyed by the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK Pahala Nainggolan in response to Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) which highlighted the similarity of Asri's total assets in 2020 and 2021. During that period, the Attorney General's Expert Staff did not record an increase or decrease in wealth amounting to Rp3,495,200,407. "“ Being reviewed by the LHKPN, including the previous year," said Pahala when confirmed by VOI, Monday, August 26. Pahala said that if irregularities were found in this report, the anti-corruption commission would be very likely to summon Asri. The LHKPN team will clarify. However, he did not specify how long it would take for the LHKPN review process. “ If there is a significant person concerned to be clarified,” he said. Asri Agung is in the spotlight after his son-in-law, Dwi Okta Jelita or Jelita Jeje showed off the alleged receipt of gratuities while defending the son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Kaesang Pangarep and his wife, Erina Gudono, who flew abroad with a fantastic-value chartered jet. The celebrity admitted that her in-laws said that their family trips abroad were often sponsored by entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, Jelita is also the wife of Farid Irfan Sidik who serves as Head of the Bintan Free Trade Area and Free Port Concession Agency (BP). As an official, her husband apparently has never reported his wealth since 2022 or during his tenure. "“Ehh for a moment, private jets have been proven, it's not a private jet belonging to the state, after all, in the same class as the president, going for a walk, it's also not a personal pocket x aplgi of state money (this is the thought of ordinary people who don't know) so the state officials are linked with the state money. That's not it, ” said Jelita Jeje in a message sent via DM via the Instagram account @jelitajee when defending Kaesang and Erina which was later viralized by the X account, @anibutnotaniani. "I also know a lot from my parents-in-law, we cover overseas with entrepreneurs who really provide facilities without being asked, are told to choose where to stay, what plane to take, never dizzy, let alone in the same class as the president. In the fight, people want facilitation. So it doesn't use state money, let alone it's not a matter for the presidency," he continued, still in the same message. As previously reported, ICW highlighted the similarity of values in the LHKPN Asri Agung Putra which is the Expert Staff of the Attorney General. “ If you look in more detail, the total assets reported to the KPK are the same in 2020 and 2021, which amounted to Rp3,495,200,407,” Kurnia said in a written statement quoted on Monday, August 26. For Kurnia, the value of wealth is suspicious. “ Logika simply, isn't the asset experiencing price fluctuations every year, ” said the anti-corruption activist.

This suspicion made ICW ask the KPK to move. Moreover, if Asri really accepts facilities from entrepreneurs to release abroad and is not reported in accordance with Article 12B of the Anti-Corruption Law. "The “ events can be categorized as a crime of gratification," said Kurnia.
