The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated documents related to allegations of corruption in the procurement of presidential social assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This forced effort was made when examining three witnesses on Tuesday, May 27.

"Investigators confiscated documents related to the case and studied the witness' testimony for the document," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement quoted on Wednesday, May 28.

Budi said the three witnesses were questioned at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. Those who were questioned were M. Gilang Sasi Kirono as Head of the Legal Aid Section (Kasi) of the Legal Division of the Law and Compliance with Bulog; Diding who is the Head of Finance at the Directorate General of Social Security; and Robin Saputra as civil servant (PNS) of the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos).

Actually, investigators will also examine two witnesses in this case. However, they asked for a reschedule and did not know exactly when.

The two witnesses who asked for a reschedule were Yuli Andhika as staff of the LKPP Catalog System Development Directorate and Yulianto Prihandoyo who is the Director of Advocacy for the LKPP Central Government.

Previously reported, the KPK revealed that it was investigating allegations of corruption in the procurement of presidential social assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic which was distributed in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) in 2020. There are already suspects named, namely Ivo Wongkaren who is the President Director of Mitra Energi Persada.

The actions of the suspect in this case, called the anti-corruption commission, made the state lose up to Rp250 billion. This figure can still increase because the calculation is still being carried out.

The procurement that was corrupted was said to have reached 6 million packages of anti-corruption commission. This figure is divided into three stages, namely, stages three, five, and six, the other reaching two million packages.
