JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned a number of witnesses related to the alleged corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta. One of the witnesses summoned was the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Financial Management Agency, Edi Sumantri.

He was questioned to complete the file belonging to the suspect Yoory Corneles, the former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya.

"Examined as a witness for the YRC suspect related to the corruption crime of land acquisition in Munjul," Acting Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters, Monday, September 20.

Apart from Edi, the KPK also summoned 7 other witnesses. They are the Acting Head of the DKI Jakarta Province BUMD Trustees, Riyadi; PT Wijaya Karya Finance Division employee, Arfinsyah Pasaribu; and Alfi Trianto, who is the Main Implementer of the Sumatra Regional Division I of PT Wijaya Karya.

Furthermore, the KPK summoned the Senior Manager of the HR and General Division of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Sri Lestari; Annika Satiharidi Arfa who is a private party; Director of PT Embrio, Andyas Geraldo; and the finance department of PT Adonara Propertindo, Ajeng Amelia.

Ali did not specify the material for the examination of the witnesses. However, since the beginning, the KPK has confirmed that the parties summoned in this case are those who are suspected of knowing about the rioting that occurred during the land acquisition process in Munjul. Previously, the KPK had named four suspects, namely the Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo, 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 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 alleged corruption, the state is estimated to have lost up to Rp. 152.5 billion. The suspects allegedly used this money to finance their personal needs.
