The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating allegations of corruption related to the use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds from Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). This information was conveyed by the Director of KPK Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu.

"The answer from the KPK, us or the KPK is investigating this case," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, September 18.

Asep has not detailed the alleged corruption, including the parties suspected of being involved. It's just that, he said, there were a number of problems that led to fraudulent practices.

Among them is the question of using money whose designation is not appropriate. "The point is, yes, why can CSR be a problem, so this is the case, the company provides CSR which is used for existing activities such as social activities, building houses, building worship, building other facilities, roads, bridges and others," he said.

If it is used according to its designation, there is no problem. The problem is when the CSR funds are not used according to their designation," continued Asep.

In addition, Asep also mentioned that another problem that arose was that the funds disbursed were not appropriate. "This means that there are some, for example, CSR is 100, only 50 are used, 50 of which are not used," he said.

However, Asep did not want to reveal further about the problems that occurred. He said everything would be conveyed in due course.

"Just wait, later the problem will be (complete, red) it will be conveyed," he concluded.
