The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the state losses incurred in the corruption case in the procurement of materials for the construction of Tank-1 and Tank-2 TNI Navy (AL) transport ships reached tens of billions of rupiah. This figure is based on calculations within the anti-corruption commission. "For the time being, yes, (the amount, red) is tens of billions," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 19. Ali has not detailed the exact number. However, this number can still increase because later the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) will participate in auditing state losses. The audit, continued Ali, must be carried out because the articles applied are Article 2 and Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law. "So it's not a bribery article," he said. The KPK revealed that they had detected allegations of corruption related to procurement at the Ministry of Defense. It is suspected that fraud occurred during the procurement of materials for the construction of Indonesian Navy Tank-1 and Tank-2 ships at the Ministry of Defense in 2012-2018. Even so, they have not announced who the suspect is in this case. The announcement will be made in conjunction with the detention process. In this effort to investigate corruption allegations, the KPK asked the public to supervise their performance. Anyone who is aware of the alleged corruption can also submit a complaint.
