JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that two NasDem Party legislators Fauzi Amro and Charles Meikyansyah did not fulfill the summons of investigators on Thursday, March 13. They should have been examined as witnesses in the corruption case of social responsibility funds or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI).

"Two witnesses were not present," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters quoted on Friday, March 14.

Tessa did not specify the reasons for the absence of the two politicians. Later investigators will reschedule.

The investigation of Fauzi and Charles Meikyansyah should have been carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

The KPK is currently investigating allegations of corruption in the Social Responsibility Fund (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI). The investigation used a general investigation warrant (sprindik) signed in the third week of December 2024.

There is no name in the regulation yet. However, two people or even more have the potential to be charged after a search was carried out at the Bank Indonesia office to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) on Monday night, December 16, 2024.

In this case, the KPK has also examined a number of parties. Among them are DPR member of the NasDem Party faction Satori and Member of the DPR Gerindra Party faction Heri Gunawan.

Investigators have also searched Satori's house in the Cirebon area, West Java. From the search process, investigators found documents allegedly related to the alleged corruption of BI's CSR funds.

Investigators have also searched Heri Gunawan's house and found evidence including documents. The CSR BI funds allegedly flowed to a number of foundations and became assets enjoyed by related parties.
