Subheading: Lawmaker denies bribery, vows cooperation as anti-graft agency investigates corporate social responsibility funds.

Article:

In a significant development, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned and questioned a member of the House of Representatives (DPR), Satori (ST), in relation to an alleged corruption case involving corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds at Bank Indonesia (BI). The lawmaker, who arrived at the KPK headquarters in Jakarta around 13:11 WIB, was seen wearing a white batik shirt.

Satori, a member of the DPR’s XI Commission, confirmed that he was being examined by the KPK regarding the case. When asked about the nature of the CSR program in question, he stated, "The program is for socialization activities in the electoral district." He further revealed that the CSR funds from BI were channeled through a foundation, with all members of the XI Commission reportedly receiving such programs.

However, Satori categorically denied any involvement in bribery, asserting, "There’s no bribery here, no money involved." He pledged to fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation, stating, "As citizens, we must follow the proper procedures that the investigators will carry out. Insha’Allah, I will be cooperative."

The KPK has been actively investigating the alleged corruption involving CSR funds at BI. On Monday, December 16, the anti-graft agency conducted raids at BI’s offices, including the governor’s room. During the raids, numerous documents and electronic evidence were seized.

Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of KPK Verdicts, Rudi Setiawan, confirmed the seizure of documents related to the amount and distribution of CSR funds, among other evidence. He stated, "We found several documents, and we also secured several electronic devices. We are looking for documents related to the amount of CSR funds, who received them, and so on."

This investigation comes on the heels of the KPK summoning two other DPR members, Heri Gunawan (HG) and Satori (ST), in connection with the same case. Both lawmakers have reportedly complied with the KPK’s request.

The KPK has not yet disclosed the specific details of the questions posed to Satori during his examination. The agency is committed to thoroughly investigating the case, aiming to root out corruption in the CSR programs at BI.

This is a developing story. Stay tuned for more updates.

Heads: Members of DPR‘s Komisi XI Admit to Using Bank Indonesia’s CSR Funds; Satori Defends Against Bribery Allegations

Subhead: CSR funds meant for public welfare appear to be channeled into personal Dapil programs by legislators, raising concerns of misuse for political gains.

Byline: Tessa Anggita / Jakarta

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — Members of the DPR’s Komisi XI have openly acknowledged utilizing Bank Indonesia’s (BI) corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds for projects in their respective electoral districts. Among them is Satori, who vehemently denies any bribery involvement, insisting on cooperating with ongoing legal proceedings.

"I’m not the only one; all Komisi XI members have access to these funds," Satori confirmed while departing from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) headquarters, shortly after being summoned as a witness in the case.

The CSR funds, meant to benefit local communities, appear to have been channeled into legislators’ personal projects and initiatives, raising concerns about misuse for political gain. The KPK has been investigating this alleged misappropriation, conducting raids on BI offices and seizing related documents and electronic devices.

Satori insisted that there was no bribery involved, stating, "There’s absolutely no bribe, absolutely none." He and fellow legislator Heri Gunawan were summoned by the KPK as part of the ongoing investigation.

The misuse of CSR funds, intended for public welfare, has become a growing concern. Such funds are meant to drive positive change in communities but have increasingly been linked to political agendas and personal gain.

This developing story is a stark reminder of the need for transparent and accountable use of funds meant to serve the public interest.

Hasto also expressed his understanding of the potential risks he would face. "I understand the various risks that I may face," he said.

“Accused of Political Meddling: Respect the Legal Process

Rise in Political Tensions: Gerindra‘s Maruarar Backs KPK, PDIP Alleges Politicization

Jakarta, Indonesia – Maruarar Sirait, a high-profile politician from the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), has responded to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) naming PDIP’s secretary-general, Hasto Kristiyanto, as a suspect in a case involving former General Elections Commission (KPU) commissioner, Wahyu Setiawan. Maruarar emphasized the importance of respecting the legal process.

Maruarar, also known as ‘Ara’,stated, "I believe we should respect the legal process," during an interview at his residence in the Menteng area of Jakarta. He reiterated Indonesia’s status as a nation of laws, stressing the importance of allowing legal processes to run their course.

Regarding the ongoing ‘Capture Harun Masiku’ challenge, Maruarar expressed confidence that the nation could apprehend the legendary criminal. "If anyone can capture him, then certainly, this nation can apprehend Harun Masiku," he said.

PDIP spokesman, Chico Hakim, however, has accused certain parties of attempting to disrupt and sink PDIP’s reputation regarding Hasto’s nomination as a suspect. "There’s a strong political motivation in this case," Chico told reporters. "The fact that two suspects in the BI CSR case were initially cleared is evidence of that. There’s a clear effort to hinder PDI Perjuangan and even take it over."

KPK, meanwhile, dismissed allegations of politicization, insisting that Hasto’s nomination as a suspect was purely a matter of law enforcement. "The decision to name Hasto a suspect is solely based on legal considerations," said KPK chairman Setyo Budiyanto at a press conference in Jakarta.

The political landscape remains tense as Indonesia prepares for the upcoming PDIP Congress, with both parties keeping a close eye on developments and any potential disruptions. The nation awaits further updates on this evolving story.

Headline: KPK Bars Former Minister Laoly, PDIP Secretary-General Hasto from Leaving Indonesia in Graft Probe

Article:

Jakarta, Dec 25 (idn/knv) – Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has prohibited former Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly (YHL) and PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristiyanto from leaving the country. The restriction, effective from Dec 24, is part of an ongoing probe into an alleged bribery case involving suspect Harun Masiku.

KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika confirmed the travel ban, valid for six months, stating, "The restriction is in relation to the investigation of corruption allegation." KPK requires their cooperation and statements to progress with the investigation.

Prior to this, YHL served as a witness in the case, where KPK scrutinized documents pertaining to a request for a fatwa from the Supreme Court regarding different interpretations of the General Election Commission’s (KPU’s) stance on votes cast for deceased candidates.

YHL admitted that he was cross-examined over a letter he had sent to the Supreme Court requesting a fatwa. "We asked for a fatwa because there was a difference in interpretation between the KPU and the PDIP’s central board about the vote of candidates who died," he explained.

YHL also addressed KPK’s questions regarding his prior ministerial post and his role in permitting Harun Masiku’s activities during his tenure. The former minister stated that KPK had questioned him in his capacity as both PDIP’s legal affairs chief and Minister of Law and Human Rights regarding the matter.

This developing story will be updated as more information becomes available.

PDIP Endorses KPK’s Decision to Name Jokowi a Suspect, Urges Respect for Legal Process

written by Chief Editor

President Jokowi Reacts to PDIP Secretary-General’s Status as Suspect in Graft Case

In a recent development, Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) has named PDIP Secretary-General, Hasto Kristiyanto, as a suspect in a corruption case involving former KPU commissioner, Wahyu Setiawan. While no longer in office, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has found himself entangled in the case, with his name still being mentioned in relation to Hasto’s status.

"I respect the ongoing legal process," said Jokowi during an event at the Graha Saba Buana building in Solo, Central Java, on Wednesday (25/12/2024). When asked about his name being connected to the case, Jokowi responded calmly, stating that he is no longer in office.

KPK announced Hasto as a suspect in the case involving alleged bribery of Wahyu Setiawan during a press conference at their headquarters in South Jakarta on Tuesday (24/12). KPK chairman Setyo Budiyanto explained that Hasto played a role in placing Harun Masiku in the South Sumatra I electoral district and attempting to secure his position in the DPR via a Patent of Appointment (PAW). Hasto even reportedly hindered Riezky Aprilia’s planned installation as an MP by withholding her invitation letter.

The DPP PDI-P’s deputy chairman, Rony Talapessy, has suggested that Hasto’s naming as a suspect is politically motivated. He stated that the true reason behind Hasto’s involvement is his party’s stance against attempts to undermine democracy and the constitution, as well as abuse of power during the final stages of Jokowi’s presidency.

Although no longer in office, Jokowi maintains that he has no issue with his name being linked to the case. "It’s fine if my name is involved in this case," he said, emphasizing that he is retired now.

Unraveling the Role of PDIP’s Secretary General in the Harun Masiku Case: KPK’s Revelations

by Chief Editor
written by Chief Editor

Breaking: KPK Names PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto as Suspect in PAW Harun Masiku Vote-Buying Scandal

In a major development, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has officially named Secretary General of the PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, as a suspect in the vote-buying case involving the parliamentary seat (PAW) of Harun Masiku.

KPK Chairman, Setyo Budiyanto, detailed Hasto’s crucial role in the scam during a press conference at the KPK headquarters in South Jakarta on Tuesday (24/2/2024). "Hasto, along with Harun Masiku and their accomplices, gave bribes to Wahyu Setiawan and Agus Setiani. First, Hasto placed Harun Masiku on the PDIP electoral list for South Sumatra, despite him originating from South Sulawesi’s Toraja region," Setyo explained.

During the 2019 legislative elections, Harun Masiku received 5,878 votes, significantly fewer than fellow PDIP candidate Rizky Aprilia, who garnered 44,402 votes. In that scenario, Rizky was expected to replace the late PDIP legislator Nazarudin Kiemas.

KPK alleges that Hasto actively worked to obstruct Rizky’s election as a PDIP legislator. He took several steps to prevent Nazarudin’s seat from being filled by Rizky, attempting to replace her with Harun Masiku.

"Hasto parallely tried to convince Rizky to step down, allowing Harun to take her place. However, Rizky refused," Setyo clarified.

The commission also found evidence suggesting Hasto asked Saeful Bahri to meet Rizky in Singapore to convince her to resign. This effort, too, proved unsuccessful.

Unable to secure Rizky’s resignation, Hasto reportedly resorted to bribery, offering money to then-KPU Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan.

"Hasto worked with Harun Masiku, Saeful Bahri, and DTI in bribing Wahyu Setiawan and Agustinus Tiu," Setyo concluded.

Serious Blunder in Bank Indonesia CSR Corruption Case: Only Two Suspects?

KPK Clarifies: No Official Tersangka Named in BI CSR Fund Misuse Allegation

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has corrected an earlier statement regarding the designation of two individuals as suspects in the alleged misuse of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds by Bank Indonesia (BI). KPK chairperson Tessa Mahardhika clarified that no official suspects have been named yet in the case.

"Let me clarify that the general letter of investigation (sprindik) issued so far does not mention any suspects," Tessa explained at the KPK building in Jakarta on Thursday (19/12/2024).

Earlier, KPK’s Deputy for Enforcement and Execution, Irjen Rudi Setiawan, had stated that two suspects had been identified in the case. Tessa attributed this discrepancy to a likely mix-up, as Rudi might have been referring to another case while-speaking.

"In connection with what was stated by the Deputy, it’s possible that he mistakenly or mixed-up cases," Tessa noted, adding that the letter of investigation issued so far did not mention any suspects.

Tessa further explained that KPK has the option to issue a general sprindik without naming suspects. The commission may still issue letters of investigation that do include suspects when necessary.

Previously, KPK announced that it had identified two suspects in the alleged misuse of BI’s CSR funds. The commission is expected to soon announce the suspects’ identities. However, Deputy Rudi refrained from confirming whether any members of the House of Representatives (DPR) were involved.

"There are several suspects that we have identified. Two people have been named as suspects," Rudi said, without providing further details.
