JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detained Laurenzius CS Sembiring. The lawyer is now in an orange dream for setting up a scenario to obstruct the investigation into the bribery case of South Buru Regent Tagop Sudarsono Soulisa.
"The investigative team detained the LCSS for the first 20 days starting from March 20 to April 8 at the KPK Detention Center at the Red and White Building," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, March 20.
Ghufron revealed that Laurenzius was a lawyer who received a special power of attorney from the Director of PT Vidi Citra Kencana, Ivana Kwelju. This agreement was made in June 2019 when the private sector was named a suspect in the bribery case that ensnared Tagop.
In carrying out the action, Laurenzius carried out three scenarios. First, he made it seem as if there was no transfer from his client to Tagop through a private account named John Rynhard Kasman.
"It was made as if only a transaction between Ivana Kwelju and JRK," said Ghufron.
In the second scenario, Laurenzius made it seem as if there was a receivable agreement related to the purchase of John's assets. In fact, the asset belongs to Tagop.
Finally, this lawyer is suspected of manipulating financial transaction documents and purchasing Tagop's assets. All of these scenarios were followed by Tagop, Ivana, and John.
"So that what was conveyed in front of the investigators did not match the actual facts, thus hampering teamwork," said Ghufron.
Not getting there, Laurenzius was also suspected of providing incorrect information in the trial to obscure the facts. However, the anti-corruption commission did not specify how much Ivana paid Laurenzius.
As a result of his actions, the lawyer is suspected of LCSS violating Article 21 and Article 22 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
