JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigative team continues to investigate allegations of corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. This time, the KPK has studied the land appraisal process by summoning a witness on Thursday, August 19 yesterday.

"Examined as a witness for the suspect RHI (Rudy Hartono Iskandar) et al, namely a private sector named Farid Ridwan whose knowledge was explored, among others, related to the process of calculating the appraisal (asset assessment) for land acquisition in Munjul, Cipayung", said KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, August 20.

In addition, investigators summoned another witness on the same day, namely a person from the private sector. During the examination, the witness was asked about the ownership of one of the suspects' assets.

"Dewi from the private sector was confirmed, among others, related to the alleged ownership of various assets from the suspect RHI", said Ali.

In this case, the anti-corruption commission has named four suspects, namely the Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo namely Tommy Adrian and Anja Runtuwene, former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles, and Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) Rudy Hartono Iskandar.

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

This allegation of corruption occurred when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD (Regionally-Owned Enterprises) in the property sector, sought land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank. Furthermore, this regionally owned company cooperates with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

As a result of this case, the state lost up to IDR 152.5 billion. The suspects allegedly used this money to finance their personal needs.
