JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) claims to have done their handle corruption cases related to the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance Certificate (SKL) which has cost the state up to trillions of rupiah.

One of them was carried out by the KPK by submitting a Review (PK) which is said to be the first time it was carried out in history.

"This PK submission is the first time in the history of the KPK as a form of our seriousness in resolving the case", said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in his written statement, Monday, April 5.

Although legal remedies have been made, the result has been rejected by the Supreme Court. "The KPK has tried their best", he said.

For this reason, the KPK issued an Investigation Cessation Order (SP3) against the SKL BLBI corruption involving the controlling shareholder of Bank Dagang Negara Indonesia (BDNI) Sjamsul and Itjih Nursalim. This is because in this case the elements of state administrators were not fulfilled.

This happened after the Supreme Court (MA) rejected the review (PK) proposed by the KPK against the former Head of IBRA, Syafruddin Arsyad Temenggung. In this case, Syafruddin, who was a suspect, felt that he was being tried for his actions, even though he was finally acquitted by a decision at the cassation level.

"So for the sake of legal certainty, the KPK has stopped the case in question", said Ali.

Previously reported, the KPK officially stopped the investigation into the corruption case in the issuance of a Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance Certificate (SKL). Besides, the KPK opens up opportunities to stop investigations into other old cases.

Through a press conference, KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata stated that the SKL BLBI corruption case involved three people, namely Sjamsul Nursalim and his wife, Itjih Nursalim, and Syafruddin Arsyad Tumenggung. This is the first time that the KPK has issued a Letter of Termination of Investigation and Prosecution (SP3) in investigating corruption cases.

"We announce the termination of the investigation regarding the alleged corruption crime committed by the suspect SN (Sjamsul Nursalim) as the controlling shareholder of Bank Dagang Nasional (BDNI) and ISN (Itjih Sjamsul Nursalim), together with SAT (Syafruddin Arsyad Tumenggung) as chairman of IBRA", Alex said as quoted from the KPK RI YouTube account, Thursday, April 1.

He explained the termination of this investigation was based on Article 40 of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law Number 19 of 2019. As law enforcers, said Alex, of course, the anti-graft commission had to obey it.

Alex said that the issuance of the Letter of Termination of Investigation and Prosecution (SP3) was also carried out as a form of providing legal certainty by applicable regulations. "As mandated by Article 5 of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law, namely in carrying out its duties and authorities the KPK is based on the principle of legal certainty", he said.
