Investigators at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) have summoned two members of the House of Representatives (DPR) to delve deeper into the alleged misuse of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds of the Indonesian Central Bank (BI).
Currently, KPK is conducting an investigation into alleged corruption in the distribution of BI CSR funds. KPK has conducted searches in two locations suspected of storing evidence related to the case. The two locations namely, the BI building office on Jalan MH Thamrin and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) office on Thursday, December 19, 2024.
The two House members, Heri Gunawan from the Greater Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party, and Satori from National Democrat (NasDem) Party, were summoned on Friday, December 27, 2024.
However, KPK did not specify the reason behind the summons of the two House members. Both legislators were questioned in regards with the alleged misuse of BI CSR funds.
“From these two activities (searches at OJK and BI), investigators have found and confiscated electronic evidence and several documents in the form of letters,” Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto, KPK Spokesperson, said on Friday, December 27, 2024.
Tessa cited the investigation will continue and summon all parties involved to be questioned as witnesses. Later, all parties involved will be confronted with the findings by the investigators.
