JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) denied borrowing Rp300 billion from banks to be exhibited during the ceremony for handing over looted money in the fictitious investment case of PT Taspen (Persero) some time ago.

This was conveyed by the acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu in response to the confusing news circulating in the community that the Rp100 thousand denomination was a loan or meaning that the agency was in debt.

Instead of borrowing, the money was indeed spent from the KPK holding account at Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI). The injection of borrowing, Asep said, arose because the money had to be returned or deposited again after the ceremonial activity was completed.

The confiscation account is indeed owned by the anti-corruption commission to receive refunds from related parties as well as payment of fines and replacement money in corruption cases.

"Execution prosecutors using confiscated money from the KPK which is stored at Bank BNI because ministries or institutions as well as APH such as the police, the KPK, the Attorney General's Office and the Court are not allowed to save cash," Asep said in a written statement received by VOI, Monday, November 24.

"So that the execution prosecutor borrowed Rp300 billion of confiscated money from the KPK which was stored at the nearest BNI Bank from the KPK Building for security and administrative reasons to be used as a background during the ceremony for submitting proof of transfer of Rp883 billion from the KPK to PT Taspen. After completing the confiscated money event, it was returned to BNI," he continued.

Asep also said that the KPK deliberately showed off the hundreds of billions of money. "This is proof to the public that it is true that money was handed over," he said.

"Because the event was the handover of money from the KPK to PT Taspen in the amount of Rp.883 billion. Another law enforcement officer has also done the same thing," said Asep, who also serves as Director of KPK Investigations.

In the future, Asep ensured that his institution would continue to pursue the return of state losses of Rp. 1 trillion in the PT Taspen fictitious investment corruption case. His party is still waiting for the decision against the appeal filed by Antonius NS Kosasih as the former president director of the state-owned company.

"The rest is still in the trial process for the ANS defendant around Rp160 billion and later it will be handed over to PT Taspen after the case is inkrah," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK has just returned Rp. 833 billion to PT Taspen (Persero). This money was confiscated by the Investments Management (IIM), Ekiawan Heri Primaryanto.

Then it was also handed over to Taspen in the form of six units of securities which had been transferred on November 17, 2025 to the state-owned company's securities account.

This submission is a follow-up to the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court Corruption Court which has permanent legal force. The decision stipulates evidence in the form of the National Insight Fund Participation Unit for the Balanced Fund 2 (I-Next G2) which has been sold to be returned to PT Taspen.
