JAKARTA - President Director of Bank Bengkulu, Beni Harjono, does not want to talk much about his examination by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today, Thursday, January 30. He was examined as a witness for alleged extortion and acceptance of gratuities that ensnared the inactive Bengkulu Governor Rohidin Mersyah.
From observations at the location, Beni, who wore a blue-streamed plaid shirt, chose to hurry. He did not explain anything when asked about the connection between Bank Bengkulu in the Rohidin case.
"I don't know, I know more about investigators. I don't know," said Beni at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 30.
Beni said there were 20 questions given by investigators. However, he did not want to explain further.
"Normal only (inspection, ed) the suspect, Mr. Governor," he said.
Previously reported, the KPK held a hand arrest operation (OTT) in Bengkulu Province on Saturday, November 23 and brought eight people for questioning. Three people were later named as suspects, namely Bengkulu Governor Rohidin Mersyah, Bengkulu Provincial Secretary (Sekda) Isnan Fajri and Evrianshah alias Anca who is the Adc Governor of Bengkulu.
When the OTT was carried out, investigators found IDR 7 billion in rupiah currency denominations, US dollars, and Singapore dollars. The extortion and acceptance of gratuities is said to finance Rohidin, who is back running as a candidate for incumbent.
As a result of his actions, these three suspects are suspected of violating Article 12 letter e and Article 12B in Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended in Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code.
