JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that two NasDem Party legislators, Fauzi Amro and Charles Meikyansyah will be recalled. Their information is needed regarding allegations of corruption in the social responsibility fund or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI).

The two of them should have been questioned at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Thursday, March 13. However, they did not attend because there were other activities.

"Later, investigators will reschedule (the examination, ed). However, communication first usually (to determine the next schedule, ed)," said KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters, Friday, March 21.

Asep could not specify the exact time of the summons. However, usually the rescheduling process is carried out not too long from the summons it should be.

"This should have been last week, last week the two people. Next week it will be like that. Not too long usually," he said.

"Unless the person concerned is sick and others it will take a long time, we are waiting until the person concerned is ready for questioning," continued Asep.

Previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating allegations of corruption in the Social Responsibility Fund (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI). The investigation uses 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.
