JAKARTA - Former President Director of PT Taspen (Persero) Antonius NS Kosasih will soon be tried. The investigation into alleged fictitious investment corruption at the state-owned company has been declared complete and the file has been transferred to the public prosecutor (JPU).

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the transfer of case files and suspects was also carried out on Ekiawan Heri Primaryantyo, who is the former President Director of PT Insight Investment Management (IIM). This process was carried out on Wednesday, May 7.

"Investigators have transferred evidence and two suspects to the public prosecutor. This means that the case file in the investigation process has been declared complete," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, May 7.

Budi said both of them had cost the state up to Rp1 trillion based on the calculation of the Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

"Furthermore, the public prosecutor at the KPK has 14 days to submit the case file to the Corruption Court," he said.

"We will observe every fact in each trial process later," continued Budi.

Previously reported, the KPK has detained former Director of PT Taspen (Persero) Antonius NS Kosasih and former President Director of PT Insight Investment Management Ekiawan Heri Primayanto regarding the alleged corruption of fictitious investments in the state-owned company. Their actions allegedly cost the state up to Rp200 billion.

This case began when PT Taspen (Persero) placed an investment of IDR 1 trillion in the RD I-Next G2 mutual fund managed by PT Insight Investment Management. The private company then spread it to a number of investments but not according to the rules.

In detail, Rp78 billion is managed by PT Insight Investment Management. Then, as much as Rp2.2 billion is managed by PT VSI; Rp102 million is managed by PT PS; Rp44 million goes to PT SM; and other parties affiliated with Kosasih and Ekiawan.

In this case, the investigative team has also searched two apartment units in Rasuna Said, South Jakarta on January 8 and 9. From these forced attempts, the anti-corruption commission confiscated Rp300 million in foreign currency US dollars, Singapore dollars, pounds, won, and baht.

Not only that, investigators also confiscated a number of luxury bags, documents or letters related to ownership of assets and electronic evidence allegedly related to the case being investigated.
