JAKARTA - The Chairman of the Kuantan Singingi Regency (Kuansing) DPRD, Juprizal, admitted that he did not know about the envelope that was handed over by the Kuansing Regency Government to the Minister of Forestry (Menhut) Raja Juli Antoni for the management of the Limited Production Forest (HPT) permit.
This was conveyed by Juprizal after being examined by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as a witness to alleged bribery and gratification receipt that ensnared the non-active Regent of Kuantan Singingi (Kuansing) Suhardiman Amby.
He was known to have been examined since 09.50 WIB, Friday, August 14 and left the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at around 17.09 WIB. Juprizal appeared to be carrying a red envelope after undergoing an examination.
"I don't know," Juprizal told reporters at the location.
Suhardiman was also asked about the money worth 12,000 Singapore dollars that had been confiscated by the KPK. But, he again did not want to say anything.
Likewise, the money in the envelope of King Juli was reduced by 2,000 Singapore dollars when it was returned.
The KPK had mentioned that the money in the envelope contained 14,000 Singapore dollars but decreased after Raja Juli's party made a return.
"I haven't, I don't, I don't know," he said, hurrying.
As a reminder, investigators have seized 12,000 Singapore dollars from Juprizal's hand on Wednesday, July 8. The suspicion is that the money is related to an envelope that the Kuansing Regency Government submitted to the Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni for the management of the Limited Production Forest (HPT) permit.
The money is suspected to have been collected from the residual business results (SHU) of farmers who are members of the Village Unit Cooperative (KUD).
As previously reported, the KPK named three people as suspects in the alleged bribery of the filling of the Kuansing Regent's post after conducting a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Monday, June 29. They are Kuansing Regent Suhardiman Amby, Kuansing Regent Zulkarnain, and Ardiles as President Director of PT Mitra Ideal Consultant.
In the construction of the case, Suhardiman allegedly asked for one unit of Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GR-S worth around Rp2.05 billion to the participants of the selection for the position of the Regional Secretary.
The request was fulfilled by Zulkarnain who bought the vehicle through a credit scheme using Ardiles' identity for financing applications.
In addition, the KPK also found other alleged receipts made by Suhardiman related to the process of releasing Limited Production Forest (HPT) areas. Investigators are said to be tracing the amount of receipts, the mechanism of giving to the party suspected of receiving at the Ministry of Forestry.
