The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the suspect in the corruption case of paying performance allowances (tukin) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) uses someone else's account to collect hot money.

This allegation was investigated by examining Budi Hartono's entrepreneur on Thursday, July 20.

"The witness was present and his knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the alleged flow of Tukin money which was then accommodated in the bank account of a trusted person from the suspect PAG (Subbagian Perkebunharaan Priyo Andi Gularso) and friends," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, July 21.

It did not specify how much money was kept in the account. However, Budi's statement is believed to make the suspect's actions clear.

Previously reported, the KPK named 10 employees at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources as suspects for alleged manipulation of Tukin. They are Sub-Division of Treasury Priyo Andi Gularso, commitment-making official (PPK) Novian Hari Subagio, and PPK staff Lernhard Febrian Sirait.

Then the Expenditure Treasurer Christa Handayani Pangaribowo, PPABP Rokhmat Annashikhah, SPM Operator Beni Arianto, Bill Tester Hendi, PPK Haryat Prasetyo, and accounting verification and recording executor Maria Febri Valentine, and Expenditure Treasurer of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Abdullah.

They should have submitted a performance payment budget of Rp1,399,928,153 but were manipulated to reach Rp29,003,205,373. Or there was a difference of Rp27,603,277,720

The difference money was then divided by 10 people who became suspects with a different nominal. The largest part was obtained by PPK staff from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Febian Sirait, with a nominal value of Rp. 10.8 billion.

Meanwhile, Acting Verification and Accounting Recording Maria Febri Valentine got the smallest part, namely Rp900 million. The manipulation is carried out by conditioning, inserting, and making more payments.

The difference money was then used for BPK inspectors, Umrah cooperation, marriage donations, THR, and treatment. Then they also bought assets in the form of land, houses, indoor volleyball, athletes' mess, vehicles, and precious metals.
