JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the Financial Services Authority (OJK) office on Thursday, December 19. This forced effort is to find evidence of alleged corruption in social responsibility funds or corporate social responsibility (CSR).

"A search has also been carried out at a room at the Directorate of the Financial Services Authority or OJK," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, December 20.

Tessa said a similar search was also carried out at the Bank Indonesia (BI) office on Monday, December 16. "From these two activities, investigators have found and confiscated electronic evidence and several documents in the form of letters," he said.

In the future, investigators will analyze and summon related parties as witnesses to ask for the evidence. However, Tessa is still closing down who is summoned, including the possibility of being summoned by BI Governor Perry Warjiyo.

"So they will be questioned as witnesses to clarify the evidence that has been confiscated as well as other information that needs to be deepened," said Tessa.

Previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating allegations of corruption in social responsibility funds or corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI) to the Financial Services Authority (OJK). No suspects have been named for using a general investigation warrant (sprindik).

A VOI source said the public sprindik was published in the third week of December. No suspects have been written on it but there are two or even more people who have the potential to be charged after the search was carried out on Monday night, December 16.

Meanwhile, the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Rudi Setiawan, said that the alleged corruption arose because the money that should have been enjoyed by the community actually flowed to the foundation. Thus, the state loses because the budget spent is quite large.

"So BI has CSR funds and then a few percent of it is given to those who are not proper, more or less," Rudi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 17.

"(It flows to, red) the foundations that we suspect are not appropriate to be given," he continued.
