JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the suspected corruption in land acquisition around the 2018-2020 Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS) collusion before the procurement process.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said this collusion was carried out through the WhatsApp short message application. The deepening was carried out by examining Slamet Budi Hartadji, who is a private party on Thursday, September 11 yesterday.
"Witnesses were present and investigators studied conversations via Whatsapp which allegedly indicated the conspiracy of the suspects," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Friday, September 12.
Budi said the conversation carried out by the suspect in the short message had occurred for a long time. In fact, before the procurement process runs.
"(The conversation, ed) was carried out long ago before land acquisition was carried out," he said.
Previously reported, the KPK has detained M. Rizal Sutjipto as the President Director of PT Hutama Karya today, August 6. He is a suspect in alleged corruption in land acquisition around the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTSS) for Fiscal Year 2018-2020.
Hutama Karya is the executor of the project. The detention was carried out after investigators examined him as a suspect.
In addition, the KPK also detained Bintang Perbowo, who is the Head of the Business and Investment Development Division who is also the Head of the Land Procurement Team.
In this case, the KPK also named two other suspects on behalf of Iskandar Zulkarnaen as the owner of PT Sanitarindo Tangsel Jaya (STJ) and the STJ corporation.
Even so, Iskandar passed away on August 8, 2024. That way, the investigation against him was then stopped.
This case began after Bintang was appointed President Director of PT Hutama Karya in April 2018. He is said to have immediately held a board of directors meeting, one of which decided to buy land around JTTS.
Furthermore, Bintang introduced his friend, Iskandar, to the company's board of directors to convey the ownership of the suspect Iskandar's land in Bakauheni.
Bintang then asked Iskandar to make a land offer to PT Hutama Karya. Bintang also asked Iskandar to seek land expansion by buying land from the surrounding community, so that later PT Hutama Karya can directly purchase land from Iskandar or PT STJ.
Then, in September 2018, PT Hutama Karya made phase I payments for Bakauheni land of around Rp. 24.6 billion. It's just that there are a number of irregularities.
Among them, PT Hutama Karya procured unplanned land in the 2018 Company Budget Work Plan (RKAP). The actions of these suspects then caused state losses of Rp205.14 billion based on the calculation of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).
