JAKARTA - The Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) institution gave a very bad assessment to law enforcement officials, namely the KPK, the police, and the Attorney General's Office regarding the prosecution of corruption cases during the first semester of 2022. ICW researcher, Diky Anandya explained, throughout the first semester of 2022, there were 252 corruption cases handled by law enforcement officers. Meanwhile, there are 1,387 corruption targets that must be handled in the first semester of 2022. Thus, ICW provides an E value for the realization of the prosecution of corruption cases for six months since January 2022. "From the target of 1,387 corruption cases in the first semester of 2022, all law enforcement officers were observed to be only able to realize 252 corruption cases or around 18 percent. So, the performance of prosecuting corruption cases only gets an E or a very bad score," Diky said in a virtual press conference, Sunday, November 20. Of the 252 corruption cases handled by law enforcement officers, ICW noted that as many as 612 people have been named as suspects, with the potential value of state losses reaching Rp33.6 trillion. Then, the potential value of the bribe is Rp. 149 billion, the potential for illegal levies is Rp. 8.8 billion, and potential assets resulting from crimes disguised through a money laundering mechanism of Rp. 931 billion. The three corruption cases that contributed to the country's largest financial value were the case of the procurement of bombings and ATR of PT Garuda which claimed state financial losses of IDR 8.8 trillion, as well as export cases involving Indonesian export institutions that cost the state financial losses of IDR 2.6 trillion. "All of these three cases are handled by the Attorney General's Office," said Diky. In mapping cases based on modes during the first semester of 2022, ICW found that the most dominant mode used by perpetrators of corruption was misuse of the budget with 147 cases out of 252 cases handled. Another mode that is also often used by perpetrators of corruption is mark up with 30 cases and 20 fictitious activities or projects. "These three modes are often found in a number of corruption cases with dimensions of procurement of goods and services. This is at least confirmed, because of the 252 corruption cases that have been successfully investigated by law enforcement officers, more than half or 53 percent have dimensions of procurement of goods and services," he explained.
