JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has never confiscated assets in the form of gold or money in Singapore dollar denominations from witnesses in cases of bribery in case management and money laundering (TPPU), former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan, Linda Susanti.

This affirmation was conveyed by the acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu in response to allegations that KPK investigators embezzled Linda's assets worth Rp700 billion.

He said that his subordinates had indeed carried out confiscations but what was taken at that time was only documents.

"What we are doing is confiscated, but those are documents," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, December 5.

This condition makes Asep relaxed in responding to reports made by Linda's camp starting with the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police to the KPK Supervisory Board. Instead, he hopes that the process will run soon so that his party can prove it.

"Later, of course, the KPK Council will summon us and also summon Linda's brother to bring evidence together. Of course, this evidence will be juxtaposed with which evidence is correct like that," he said.

"So for us it is a very good thing. In fact, we also encourage if there is a crime, it is welcome to report it to other law enforcement officers," he continued.

As previously reported, Deolipa Yumara's lawyer visited the KPK Supervisory Board office at Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Thursday, December 7.

Together with his client, he reported allegations of abuse of authority and embezzlement of confiscated assets worth Rp700 billion by KPK investigators and officials in the bribery case for case management and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan. Their confessions, confiscated assets in the form of gold, money with Singapore dollar denominations, land certificates, and important documents.

"(What is reported is the leadership, the perpetrators (investigators, ed). Because in the evidence there is indeed involvement of the KPK leadership," said Deolipa when confirmed, Thursday, December 4.

Deolipa did not elaborate further on who the leader was referring to. He only said that the name that was also reported had a signature in the minutes.

"Yes, there is a signature. But I didn't mention the name," he said.

Deolipa said this report was made to the KPK Supervisory Board because there were allegations of abuse of authority and ethical violations. This step also complements the various complaints they have committed.

"So we reported it to the Attorney General's Office, the complaint has been registered. The complaint has also been registered and is in progress," he explained.

"Then we also convey politically to the DPR, Commission III because the KPK is collaborating with Commission III, already. We have submitted it to the president, just to the Supervisory Board. This Supervisory Board is an ethical matter so that everyone analyzes what happened," he continued.

Furthermore, Deolipa also ensured that their evidence was complete. This also denies that his client committed fraud.

"When we have complete evidence, we will not talk about that, that's the sumir. That's why we immediately emphasized that this is an alleged criminal element," he said.
