JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has blocked a bank account belonging to PT Diratama Jaya Mandiri (DJM) worth Rp139.4 billion. This action was carried out in an effort to investigate allegations of corruption in the procurement of the AW-101 helicopter.

"It is suspected that this account blocking is closely related to the case," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, in a written statement quoted on Saturday, May 28.

The KPK, continued Ali, did indeed swiftly carry out the confiscation. The goal is that the money belonging to the suspect suspected of being in the account can be confiscated to recover state losses according to the court's decision.

Moreover, from the investigation of this case, it was found that there was a state loss of Rp. 224 billion from the contract value of Rp. 738.9 billion. "Or about 30 percent," said Ali.

The loss to this country occurred due to several things. One of them, because the helicopter specs from this procurement did not match the initial needs.

"This shows how much corruption is detrimental to the country," he said.

"KPK hopes that blocking this account will be the first step to optimize the recovery of state financial losses arising from this alleged crime," Ali added.

As previously reported, the KPK has just detained the Director of PT Diratama Jaya Mandiri Irfan Kurnia Saleh or John Irfan Kenway who is a private party.

Irfan was detained at the KPK Rutan at the KPK Red and White Building. He is suspected of actively holding meetings with the Indonesian Air Force and committing a number of frauds.

Among them, receiving a payment of 100 percent of the contract value. In fact, there are several types of work that do not meet specifications, such as not installing cargo doors and the number of seats in the helicopter that does not match.

For his actions, Irfan is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph 1 or Article 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 1 of the Criminal Code.
