JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned a number of service heads in the Bekasi City Government (Pemkot) today, Monday, April 4. They were summoned to investigate allegations of money laundering (TPPU) by the inactive Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi or Pepen.
"Today, investigators have scheduled the summons of witnesses for suspect RE," said Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri in a written statement, Monday, April 4.
At least 11 witnesses were called by investigators. They are the Secretary of the Bekasi DPRD, Hanan; Head of the Bekasi Highways Office, Arif Maulana; Head of the Bekasi Education Office, Innayatullah; Head of the Bekasi Regional Financial Revenue Management Agency, Aan Suhanda; and Head of Bekasi Satpol PP, Abi Hurairoh.
Then, the KPK also summoned the Head of Medical Services at the Bekasi Hospital, Rina Oktavia; Bekasi Environmental Agency Head, Yayan Yuliana; North Director of Bekasi Hospital, Kusnanto; Head of the Bekasi Health Office, Tanti Rohilawati; Head of the Bekasi Transportation Service, Dadang Ginanjar; and Head of the Bekasi Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM), Karto.
Ali did not elaborate further on the summons. However, their information will certainly be needed to investigate allegations of money laundering committed by Pepen.
Previously, the KPK developed a case of alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services as well as a job auction that ensnared Pepen. As a result, he was later named a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU).
This determination is made after the investigator collects evidence from the examination of witnesses. From this activity, the KPK suspects that Pepen has committed a series of actions to spend, hide, or disguise assets obtained from accepting bribes.
For information, in the alleged bribery case, Pepen was named a suspect in receiving bribes along with the Secretary of the Investment and PTSP Service, M Bunyamin; Head of Jatisari Village, Mulyadi; Jatisampurna Sub-district Head, Wahyudin; and Head of the Bekasi City Housing, Settlement and Land Office, Jumhana Lutfi.
Meanwhile, the bribe giver is the Director of PT MAM Energindo, Ali Amril; private party, Lai Bui Min; Director of Kota Bintang Rayatri, Suryadi; and the sub-district head of Rawalumbu, Makhfud Saifudin.
