JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named two suspects in the alleged receipt of gratification at PT Asuransi Jasindo. But a new arrest was made against a suspect.

The two people who are designated as suspects in this case are the owners of PT Ayodya Multi Sarana (AMS) Kiagus Emil Fahmy Cornain (KEFC) and Solihah (SLH), former Finance and Investment Director of PT Asuransi Jasindo (AJI) for the period 2008-2016.

"There is sufficient preliminary evidence that the KPK raised the status of this case to the level of investigation in October 202 by establishing a suspect," kpk chairman Firli Bahuri said at a press conference at the Kpk Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, May 20.

Firli explained that this case is a development of the investigation with the suspect President Director of PT Asuransi Jasindo period 2011-2016, Budi Tjahjono. In the course of the investigation, investigators have examined 46 witnesses.

Furthermore, to investigate the alleged receipt of this gratification, KPK made arrests against Kiagus Emil. Detention is carried out for the next 20 days starting from May 20 to June 8 in Rutan KPK Pomdam Jaya Guntur.

"While the SLH suspect has today been summoned but the person concerned confirms in writing he cannot attend due to illness reasons," he said.

As a resulting, investigators will immediately schedule and recall. "KPK reminds that the suspect SLH cooperatively present meets the call," said Firli.

This case originated from the wishes of Budi Tjahjanto who at that time served as President Director of PT Asuransi Jasindo to be the leader in the closure of project insurance and assets of BP Migas-KKKS year 2009-2012. Then, with the help of Kiagus Emil, lobbying with officials at BP Migas finally happened.

Budi was proven to engineer the activities of agents and commission payments given to agents of PT Asuransi Jasindo as if in exchange for the services of agent activities for the closure of asset and construction insurance at BP Migas-KKKS (contract contractor cooperation) in 2010-2014. Even though the closure does not use the services of Jasindo agents.

The amount of money received in this case reached Rp7.3 billion whereby by Kiagus Emil was handed over rp6 billion to Budi Tjahjanto.

"And the remaining Rp1.3 billion is used for the benefit of KEFC," explained Firli.

This behavior was again conducted in 2012-2014 by Budi Tjahjono. At that time, he capitalized as if the procurement was obtained on the services of insurance agent Supomo Hidjazie (SH) with the payment of agent commissions amounting to 600 thousand U.S. dollars.

"Then the money of 600 thousand U.S. dollars, given gradually by SH to Budi Tjahjono through SLH used for personal purposes Budi Tjahjono about a number of 400 thousand U.S. dollars and also specifically for personal needs SLH about a number of 200 thousand U.S. dollars," said Firli.

For these acts both suspects are suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of the Law (Uu) Eradication of Corruption Crimes (Tipikor) jo Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 kuhpidana jo Article 64 paragraph (1) penal code.
