JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the investigation into the alleged corruption in the implementation of the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta is still ongoing. The termination of the investigation is confirmed to be non-existent.
"It has not been stopped (the case, ed)," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, August 31.
Ali said the collection of witness statements was still ongoing. The investigation into this allegation is confirmed in accordance with the applicable legal corridor.
"So far (it is still being investigated, ed)," he said.
In investigating this allegation, it is known that the KPK has asked for clarification from a number of officials in DKI Jakarta regarding the Formula E racing event.
They are the Head of the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate, Syaefulloh Hidayat; former Indonesian Ambassador to the United States, Dino Pati Djalal; Chairman and Deputy Chair of Commission E of the DKI DPRD, Iman Satria and Anggara Wicitra.
In addition, the KPK has also asked for information from the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi. After being examined, he said he had explained several things to KPK investigators.
Including, regarding the loan of Rp180 billion from the DKI Jakarta Dispora to pay the commitment fee to Formula E Operations (FEO). However, the loan, said Prasetyo, was actually carried out before the budget for the implementation of Formula E was knocked out by the DKI DPRD.
"Yes, there is a plan approval but regarding budgeting, right, it is discussed in the budget agency. Now in discussing the budget agency, before becoming a regional regulation, borrow the Dispora to Bank DKI," Prasetyo told reporters some time ago.
"No (knowing about borrowing money, ed), we don't know. All their budget problems are made," he added.
In fact, as a complement to his statement, at that time Prasetyo brought a blue map containing a number of documents. One of them is a letter from Dispora which was then answered by DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan with Governor's Instruction Number 77 of 2019 concerning Support in Preparation for the Implementation of Formula E Activities in 2020.
