Ketua KPK Firli Bahuri

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained the Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM), Rudi Hartono Iskandar (RHI) on suspicion of corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta. The new detention was carried out after he was named a suspect on May 28.

"The investigative team made efforts to forcefully detain the suspect RHI for the first 20 days starting from August 2 to August 21 at the KPK Detention Center Lot C1", said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri in a press conference broadcast on the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Monday, August 2.

However, Rudi Hartono Iskandar will first self-isolate to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the KPK Detention Center.

In this case, the KPK has determined and detained three suspects first. They are Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles; Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Anja Runtuwene; and Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Tommy Adrian.

In addition, the KPK has also named a suspect in corporate corruption, namely PT Adonara Propertindo.

In this case, Rudi asked Anja and Tommy Adrian to approach the Carolus Boromeus Sisters of Love Foundation in February 2019. This approach resulted in the offer of land to Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya (PPSJ) using the name of his son, Andyas Geraldo.

"The land offer letter for Munjul Pondok Ranggon to PPSJ both on behalf of Andyas Geraldo and suspect AR was made for IDR 7.5 million per square meter which is claimed to be the owner of the land. In fact, the land still belongs to the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity Carolus Boromeus", Firli explained.

After that, in March 2019, Anja and Tommy again met with the congregation of sisters and signed a binding sale and purchase agreement (PPJB) for the land of Munjul with an area of 41,921 square meters for IDR 2.5 million per square meter. This price was then approved by Rudi by paying an advance of IDR 5 billion.

Furthermore, in the same month, Yoory as the President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya prepared a 40 percent payer of IDR 108.99 billion even though the purchase negotiations had not yet been carried out. As a result, the KPK suspects that there has been a state loss of IDR 152.5 billion.

For his actions, the suspect is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication Corruption Crime Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
