DOK - Former Head of Division I of PT Waskita Karya for the period 2008-2012 Adi Wibowo walked out after undergoing an examination at the KPK Building, Jakarta, Thursday (20/1/2022).

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has transferred the case files of the accused former Head of Division I PT Waskita Karya Adi Wibowo to the Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor).

Adi Wibowo is a defendant in a case of alleged corruption in the procurement and implementation of construction work on the campus building for the Institute of Home Affairs (IPDN) Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, at the Ministry of Home Affairs for Fiscal Year 2011.

"Today, KPK Prosecutor Masmudi has transferred the case files of the defendant Adi Wibowo to the Corruption Court at the Central District Court," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in a statement quoted by Antara, Monday, May 23.

Ali said that the detention of the defendant Adi Wibowo would then be the authority of the corruption court.

"The decision on the appointment of the panel of judges and the determination of the day of the first trial will still be awaited by the team of prosecutors from the special criminal registry for the corruption court," said Ali.

Adi Wibowo was charged with the charges, firstly Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code or secondly Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of the Criminal Code.

Previously, the KPK detained Adi Wibowo on Tuesday (11/1) after being named a suspect in 2018.

The KPK explained that in 2011, the Ministry of Home Affairs planned four work packages for the construction of the IPDN campus building, one of which was the IPDN Gowa Campus building with a contract value of Rp. 125 billion.

In order to get the project, the KPK suspects that Adi Wibowo arranged for the winning bidders, among others, by asking other contractors to submit bids above the project value of PT Waskita Karya and compiling documents for other contractors in such a way that they do not meet the requirements and will make it easier for PT Waskita Karya to win.

Furthermore, so that payments can be made 100 percent, Adi Wibowo is also suspected of falsifying the work progress to reach 100 percent where the facts on the ground only reach 70 percent progress and the inclusion of a change in the amount of a lighter fine in the work contract.

In addition, Adi Wibowo is also suspected of agreeing to give a sum of money and goods to officials making commitments (PPK) and other parties at the Ministry of Home Affairs.

As a result of the actions of the suspect, Adi Wibowo and his friends, it is suspected that the state financial losses amounted to Rp. 27 billion from the contract value of Rp. 125 billion.
