Marzuki Alie Asked By KPK Investigators About The Rp. 6 Billion Loan Alluded To In The Nurhadi Bribery Case

JAKARTA - After being questioned by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators, Marzuki Alie admitted that he was asked about the alleged Rp. 6 billion loan he gave to the President Director of PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal (MIT) Hiendra Soenjoto who was a suspect in the bribery case against the former Secretary of the Supreme Court. (MA) Nurhadi and his son-in-law, Riezky Herbiyono.

According to Marzuki, he never gave Hiendra a loan, let alone up to Rp. 6 billion as mentioned in the investigation report (BAP) belonging to Hengky Soenjoto.

"He said how much money I borrowed. Yes, just show me the evidence, right. That's ridiculous. Borrowing money is nothing to do with money, it's a little Rp. 6 billion. It's funny, right," said Marzuki after carrying out the investigation at the KPK Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, November 16.

Even so, this Democrat politician did not provide further rebuttals. Because he admitted that he did not understand the problems that ensnared Hiendra and former MA Nurhadi Secretary and his son-in-law, Riezky Herbiyono. "I don't need to argue," he said.

"Just show me if there is a transfer. Evidence of the transfer shows it's easy, it's easy for us to trace. So we don't need empty stories. Show me, there is a Marzuki transfer right. If you don't show, don't talk," he added.

It was informed that anti-graft agency investigators summoned the former Chairman of the 2009-2014 DPR RI Marzuki Alie. He will be examined as a witness in the case of alleged bribery and gratuity related to a case at the Supreme Court (MA) involving former MA Nurhadi and his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono and a number of other names, including the Director of PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal (MIT) Hiendra Soenjoto.

"Marzuki Alie, the former chairman of the DPR RI, was examined as a witness for the suspect HS (Hiendra Soenjoto) in a bribery and gratuity case related to the case at the Supreme Court in 2011-2016," Ali said in a written statement to reporters, Monday, November 16.

However, he was reluctant to explain further regarding the examination. "Later we will deliver the update," he said.

This examination was carried out in connection with the appearance of Marzuki Alie's name in the trial of former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Nurhadi and his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono. Apart from the politician from the Democrat Party, another name mentioned in the trial was Pramono Anung, who currently serves as Cabinet Secretary.

The mention of the names of the two occurred when the KPK prosecutor read out the investigation report (BAP) belonging to Hengky Soenjoto who is Hiendra Soenjoto's brother at the trial with the defendant Nurhadi and his son-in-law, Riezky Herbiyono which was held at the Corruption Court in Jakarta, Wednesday, November 11.

"I was asked by Hiendra to convey it to Marzuki Alie so that it would be conveyed to Pramono Anung, the Minister of State Secretary (Cabinet Secretary) at that time so that Hiendra's detention would be suspended," said Wawan when reading the BAP at the trial.

Hiengky, continued Wawan, claimed that his younger brother was quite close to Marzuki Alie and Hiendra had asked this Democrat politician to help his company not to go bankrupt and assistance of Rp. 6 billion was given.

Not only that, after the bankruptcy of the company, Hiendra and Marzuki formed a company called Intercon. The company's shares are then divided in half with a percentage of 45 percent owned by Marzuki while the rest belongs to Hiendra. However, because Hiendra was unable to pay off the debt, the company's shares were finally owned by Marzuki.

Previously, it was revealed in the indictment, Hiendra bribed Nurhadi and Riezky in the amount of Rp.45.7 billion to take care of a case between PT MIT and PT Kawasan Give Nusantara (BKN) relating to a lawsuit for leasing a container depot lease belonging to PT KBN covering an area of 26,800 square meters in the KBN area, Marunda, North Jakarta.

In the same indictment, the prosecutor also revealed that the bribes received by Nurhadi and Hiendra's son-in-law were also used to win the case against Azhar Umar of PT KBN. At that time, Azhar sued Hiendra for unlawful acts, including in connection with deed No. 116 dated June 25 concerning the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of PT MIT.

As a result of their actions, Nurhadi and Rezky were later charged with violating Article 12 letter a or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph 1-1 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 54 paragraph 1 Criminal Code.
