JAKARTA - Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) claims that the report on alleged corruption by the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) of the Attorney General's Office, Febri Adriansyah, has entered the investigation stage by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

This was conveyed by IPW Coordinator Sugeng Teguh Santoso when he visited the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, May 6.

"After collecting the data, we reported it (to the KPK, ed) on May 27, 2024. Earlier we checked, it had gone up to the investigation," Sugeng told reporters at the location.

Sugeng explained the alleged corruption he reported related to the auction of the PT Gunung Bara Utama stock package. This process was allegedly carried out inappropriately because there was abuse of authority.

"So between those who were described for the confiscation, Rp. 11 trillion with a result of Rp. 1.9 trillion was a very far amount. What's going on," he said.

Sugeng understands that the investigation process at the KPK is certainly different from the police. However, he believes the increase in the status of the report means that there are criminal allegations.

"Because when the investigation was raised, from the examination by public complaints, yes, then an investigation was investigated, meaning that there were allegations of criminal acts, corruption. Now this is being studied," he said.

The same claim was conveyed by Ronald Loblobly as Coordinator of the Civil Coalition to Save Mines (KSST). "Yes, that's right (it's been investigated, ed)," he told reporters at the same location.

The KPK said Ronald promised to continue to communicate regarding the reports submitted by his party. "And if there is a need for additional information, they will also confirm," he explained.

Previously reported, Jampidsus Attorney General's Office, Febri Adriansyah, was reported by Indonesia Corrution Watch (IPW) along with a number of other community organizations to the KPK. He is suspected of being involved in corruption related to the auction of confiscated goods in the form of a package of shares of PT Gunung Bara Utama (GBU).

This share is a loot of the PT Jiwasraya insurance corruption case. This auction was held on June 18, 2023 and won by PT Indobara Putra Mandiri, which was said to have only been established 10 days before the auction explanation was delivered.

IPW believes that malicious conspiracy occurred in the auction process. State finances are also losing money due to this fraudulent practice.
