JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) admitted that it had met with the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on Friday last week, September 30. Coordination is carried out to investigate allegations of corruption in the implementation of Formula E in DKI Jakarta which is at the investigation stage. "We have coordinated with last Friday," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, October 3. Alex did not specify what was coordinated with the BPK. The reason is that the discussion cannot become public consumption. However, he ensured that the KPK and BPK are currently focusing on calculating state losses due to the international racing event. So, in the future, this case can be decided immediately to go up or not to an investigation. "What substance we are discussing is certainly not for media consumption. However, the principle in calculating state losses is that when this case has gone up to the investigation stage, it has become an SOP (operation standard procedure) at the BPK or at BPKP," said Alex. The KPK believes that the alleged corruption in Formula E is increasingly being revealed. However, Alexander said whether or not the final decision to increase this case to an investigation is in the hands of investigators and the public prosecutor. "The person in charge of determining whether an event is an administrative or civil criminal event is the domain of investigators, the public prosecutor. BPK only calculates state losses in any case," he explained. As previously reported, the KPK confirmed that it was investigating allegations of corruption in the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta. There are several parties who have been summoned, one of which is the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan on Wednesday, September 7. After the summons, it was reported that Anies would be named a suspect. This step was later accused of thwarting him in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). Apart from Anies, a number of parties have also been summoned for questioning for wisdom. One of them, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edy Marsudi, who admitted that he had explained about the loan of Rp180 billion from the DKI Jakarta Dispora to pay the commitment fee to Formula E Operations (FEO).
