Jasindo Case Suspects Detained by KPK: We Comply with the Rules
Zulchaibar, a Commissioner of PT Nusantara Proteksi Mandiri, has accepted his detention by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) regarding alleged corruption in the payment of shipping insurance commissions for PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia (Persero), known as Pelni, by PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Persero), or Jasindo, between 2015 and 2020.
“The investigation has concluded. We comply with the rules, so if detention is required, it is fine,” Zulchaibar stated at the KPK Red and White Building in Jakarta on Thursday night. He noted that the case currently involves four suspects, with no further developments regarding additional suspects at this stage.
“There are no others at this time. I do not have anyone to protect, and I usually speak the truth without keeping secrets,” said Zulchaibar, who was seen wearing the orange KPK detainee vest numbered 228.
The three other suspects being processed by the KPK include Untung Hadi Santoa, the Marketing and Corporate Director of PT Jasindo for the period of December 2013 to October 2018; Eko Yuni Triyanto, the Risk Management Manager of the Enterprise Risk Management & R&D Bureau at PT Pelni for the period of 2012 to May 2015; and Yohanes Priyo Iriantono, the Director of PT Inovasi Vahana Indonesia for the period of 2015–2020.
The suspects were transported to detention vehicles at approximately 20:38 WIB. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo confirmed via a written statement that the four suspects have been detained for an initial 20-day period, from 30 July to 19 August, at the KPK Red and White Building detention centre.
He explained that the suspects are alleged to have committed unlawful acts related to PT Pelni’s shipping insurance work, which was conducted through direct appointment to PT Jasindo. The total contract value during the 2015–2020 period amounted to Rp263 billion. According to calculations by the BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agency), the scheme has caused state financial losses of Rp15.6 billion.
