DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the flow and financial transactions of former Director of PT Taspen (Persero), Antonius Nicholas Stephanus Kosasih, who is a suspect in a fictitious investment corruption case.

"The witnesses were all investigated regarding the flow of funds and financial transactions of ANS suspects," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters, Friday, November 22.

The witnesses who have been questioned on Thursday, November 21, namely Dhoni Nurhananto, who is part of finance and a consultant named Jennifer B. Tumbuan.

"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said Tessa.

Previously reported, the KPK decided to increase the status of handling the alleged corruption of PT Taspen (Persero) fictitious investment from investigation to investigation. Currently, the calculation of state losses is still being carried out.

Two suspects have been named, namely former President Director of PT Taspen Antonius Nicholas Stephanus Kosasih and President Director of PT Insight Investments Management Ekiawan Heri Primaryanto. However, an official announcement and detention has not been made.

In this case, the state-owned company is suspected of making fictitious investments of up to Rp1 trillion. The funds were transferred in a number of forms such as stocks to sukuk.

This process, called the anti-corruption commission, is actually legal to increase business profits. However, the process is not carried out according to the rules so that it violates the law and makes the state lose money.
