Breaking: KPK Intensifies Probe into Bank Indonesia CSR Case; Summons DPR Members
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has ramped up its investigation into the corporate social responsibility (CSR) case at Bank Indonesia (BI). The commission has summoned several members of the House of Representatives (DPR) to serve as witnesses in the case.
On Monday (16/12), KPK conducted a raid at several locations, including the office of BI’s Governor. Deputy Chief of Enforcement and Execution at KPK, Rudi Setiawan, confirmed that various documents and electronic devices were seized during the operation.
"Among the items seized were documents detailing the CSR funds, which recipients received the funds, and others," Rudi said on Tuesday (17/12) at KPK headquarters, Jakarta.
KPK has scheduled hearings for Friday (27/12) regarding allegations of corruption involving CSR funds at Bank Indonesia. Representatives from both KPK and DPR have been invited, including Heri Gunawan (HG) and Satori (ST).
DPR Member Satori Admits to Using CSR Funds
Following his hearing, Satori admitted to using CSR funds from BI for campaigns in his constituency. He maintained that these activities were part of a program.
"The program was for socialization in my constituency," Satori explained at KPK headquarters, Jakarta. He added that the CSR funds were channeled through a foundation, and all members of Commission XI received such funds.
Satori insisted that there was no bribery involved and pledged to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.
DPR Member Heri Gunawan Awaits SPDP
Meanwhile, Heri Gunawan was also summoned as a witness. In a statement, Heri said he was only asked five questions by KPK. He also revealed that he has not yet received a letter initiating the investigation (SPDP) against him.
"BI’s CSR is a regular program from their partners," Heri said.
KPK’s focus in this case is the misuse of CSR funds, which were not used for their intended purpose. The commission will continue its investigation and further summon witnesses as needed.
