JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has appointed and detained the Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Cornelis Pinontoan in connection with allegations of corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta. Even so, the KPK has been asked to continue to investigate the alleged involvement of other parties so that the case does not stagnate, such as the case of purchasing land at the Sumber Waras Hospital.

A public policy observer from Trisakti University Trubus Rahadiansyah reminded the anti-corruption commission to seriously investigate the case that ensnared Yoory. All parties suspected of being involved must be summoned without exception.

"In my opinion, all of them should be investigated. Anyone involved should not be like the Sumber Waras case, which has stalled," Trubus said when contacted by VOI, Sunday, May 29.

For information, this case of purchasing land for the Sumber Waras Hospital occurred during the leadership of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Basuki Tjahja Purnama alias Ahok. According to the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) due to the purchase of this land, there is an indication of state losses amounting to Rp. 191 billion.

However, at that time the KPK did not find any allegations of corruption. So they did not continue the investigation process to the investigation.

Returning to Trubus, according to him, there are a number of parties that must be investigated in this alleged corruption case. In addition to summoning the heads of related agencies, KPK investigators are deemed necessary to summon the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD, including the Head of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Budget Agency (Banggar) Prasetio Edi Marsudi.

The reason is, as chairman, Edi is considered to have followed the budget plan from the start. So, he is considered to know about the plan to buy this land.

"Usually he (the head of the workshop, red) participates (in the meeting, red) of the budget draft from the start. There is a submission from the office when the budget is prepared, it continues to be budgeted," he said.

However, Trubus understands that the summons made by KPK investigators cannot just be done. "Usually KPK investigators already have the size and mechanism when (to be summoned, ed) for examination," he said.

The KPK has made sure to summon all parties, including Governor Anies. Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, has said that his party will certainly summon all parties deemed to know the alleged corruption in land acquisition in Munjul. It is not only officials in related agencies who are involved, investigators will certainly summon a number of parties, including the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

"The summoning of someone as a witness in the settlement of the case is of course because if there is a need for an investigation," Ali told reporters, Friday, May 28.

He said that the witnesses who were summoned and examined were those who were considered to know the series of alleged corruption cases that cost the state finances up to Rp152.5 billion. The goal, to add to the light of this case.

"The process of investigating this case is still being carried out by collecting evidence, both statements from witnesses and other evidence," he said.

Ali said that every witness who would be summoned would be informed to the public. "Regarding the parties we will call as witnesses, we will provide further information," he said.

In this case of alleged corruption in land acquisition, the KPK has not only named Yoory as a suspect. There are two other people who are also suspects but are not wearing orange vests.

They are Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Tomy Ardian and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Anja Runtuwene. In addition, the anti-corruption commission also named a corporate suspect, namely PT Adonara Propertindo.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank.

Furthermore, the Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya collaborated with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

From this collaboration, on April 8 2019, it was agreed to sign the Binding of the Sale and Purchase Agreement Deed before a notary which took place at the Perumda Sarana Jaya office. This signature was carried out between the buyers, namely Yoory and Anja Runtuwene.

Furthermore, at the same time, a payment of 50 percent or around Rp. 108.9 billion was immediately made to AR's bank account at Bank DKI. Not long after, on Yoory's orders, the next payment was made in the amount of IDR 43.5 billion.

It's just the actions of the suspects, causing the state to lose up to Rp152.5 billion. The reason is that Perumda Sarana Jaya is suspected of committing fraudulent actions such as not conducting a study on the feasibility of a land object and not conducting an appraisal study without being supported by the complete requirements according to the relevant regulations.

Then, this BUMD company is also strongly suspected of carrying out the process and stages of land acquisition not according to procedures and there are documents that are prepared in a back date, as well as an initial price agreement between Anja and Perumda Sarana Jaya before the negotiation process is carried out.

For their actions, the suspects are suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication 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 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
