JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officially announced two suspects in the corruption of the Bank Indonesia Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

Both are legislators from the DPR from the NasDem Satori Party faction and Heri Gunawan, members of the DPR from the Gerindra Party faction.

Acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu said this case began when Commission XI of the DPR RI formed a working committee (panja).

"Commission XI of the DPR RI in carrying out its duties and authorities has several partners including BI and OJK," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 7 evening.

"Specifically for BI and OJK, Commission XI has additional authority, namely representing the DPR to approve the budget plans of each of these institutions every year," he continued.

Even so, Commission XI of the DPR must first form a panja. "In it includes suspects HG and ST to discuss the income and expenditure of budget plans proposed by BI and OJK," said Asep.

Furthermore, Commission XI of the DPR together with BI and OJK routinely held meetings in November in 2020, 2021, and 2022. "The Working Committee held closed meetings," he said.

From this closed meeting, Asep said, there were a number of agreements. The details are as follows:

"In the follow-up meeting, discussions included the number of foundations, technical submission of proposals, technical disbursement of money, accountability report documents (LPJ) and allocation of funds obtained from each member of the DPR Commission XI per year," explained Asep.

After the panja meeting is held, usually the House of Representatives Commission XI will hold a working meeting of Commission XI regarding the approval of the budget plan to be held. From this process, Heri Gunawan and Satori then took part.

Heri Gunawan said that the KPK assigned experts. Meanwhile, Satori assigned his trusted people and both of them had the task of making and submitting proposals for social assistance assistance to BI and OJK.

In total, Heri Gunawan proposed four foundations while Satori applied for eight.

"In addition to BI and OJK, HG and ST suspects are also suspected of submitting proposals for social assistance assistance to other working partners of Commission XI DPR RI, through the foundations they manage," he said.

Although Heri Gunawan and Satori received money, they did not carry out social activities as required in the proposal.

Heri Gunawan then received a total of Rp15.86 billion while Satori received Rp12.52 billion.

As a result of their actions, both of them were then suspected of violating Article 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 jo. Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.

In addition, both of them were charged with the Crime of Money Laundering Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
