TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, has seized 44 plots of land and buildings, assets belonging to suspects of corruption in the provision of financing facilities from the Indonesian Export Financing Institute (LPEI), which are not secured. The seized assets are estimated to be worth around Rp200 billion.
"This does not include vehicles and other goods that are currently being evaluated by the KPK team," KPK spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto said in an official statement on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
Meanwhile, the secured assets are still under investigation.
The anti-corruption agency has named seven suspects with an estimated state loss of around Rp 1 trillion. The credit facilities provided come from the state budget.
According to Tessa, investigators have so far uncovered a modus operandi for borrowing and repaying loans at LPEI. The next loan is used to pay off the previous loan.
In addition, it is alleged that the suspect on the debtor side received credit facilities from LPEI with his other company.
Tessa stated that KPK investigators are still actively tracing the suspects' assets to recover the state's losses arising from this case.
The anti-graft agency will continue to investigate this case, and other parties involved who committed unlawful acts will likely be held criminally liable. The institution also reminds all parties not to be tempted by promises made in the name of the KPK in order to escape from this case.
In this case, the KPK conducted searches at two private residences and an office in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. From the search, the KPK has confiscated several items, including Rp4.6 billion cash, 6 vehicles, 13 pieces of gold, 9 watches, 37 luxury bags, about 100 pieces of jewelry such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pendants, and electronic evidence in the form of laptops and hard drives.
"All of them are suspected to be related to the ongoing investigation and will be further investigated by the investigators," Tessa said.
The KPK is investigating three companies that caused financial losses to the state, namely PT PE with a loss of Rp800 billion, PT RII with a loss of Rp1.6 trillion, and PT SMJL with a loss of Rp1.051 trillion.
