The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has stated there is no\npolitical pressure behind the delay in detaining DPR members Satori and\nHeri Gunawan, suspects in an alleged bribery and money laundering case\nconcerning social programs at Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Financial\nServices Authority (OJK). The KPK named Satori, a NasDem Party member,\nand Heri Gunawan of the Gerindra Party as suspects in August last\nyear.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no political pressure involved; this is purely a technical\nmatter concerning our investigation procedures,\u201d said KPK\u2019s Deputy for\nEnforcement and Execution, Asep Guntur Rahayu, after a Pancasila Day\nceremony at the KPK\u2019s Red and White Building in Jakarta on Monday (1\nJune).<\/p>\n
Asep explained his team has been working extensively on the ongoing\ninvestigation, including tracing the flow of funds related to the\ncase.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to check each transaction to see where the money went and\nhow it was used, which is taking some time as we must verify the fund\u2019s\nusage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The two-star general assured that Satori and Heri Gunawan will be\ndetained soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also communicated with the investigators. For Mr HG [Heri\nGunawan] and Mr S [Satori], we may soon issue summonses and take\ncoercive measures,\u201d Asep said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, we are still verifying some testimonies, as this case\ninvolves not just the allocation or CSR aspects but also how the funds\nwere used\u2014whether they were genuinely allocated as intended,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>\n
