Jasindo Corruption Case Using Fictitious Commission Scheme Causes Rp 15.6 Billion State Loss
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained four suspects related to the alleged corruption of maritime insurance for PT Pelni by PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Jasindo) between 2015 and 2020. The case involves the corruption of shipping insurance commission payments from PT Pelni to PT Jasindo.
Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, stated that from 2015 to 2020, PT Jasindo secured shipping insurance work from PT Pelni through a direct appointment mechanism. The total value of these contracts reached Rp 2CO3 billion. This insurance was intended to cover risks for PT Pelni vessels, including sinking, capsizing, and fire.
However, the former Director of Marketing and Corporate at PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Persero) for the period of December 2013 to October 2018, Untung Hadi Santosa (UHS), allegedly ordered the payment of fictitious agent commissions. These fictitious commissions were paid to three insurance agency companies that did not actually perform any insurance management services for PT Pelni’s vessels.
According to the investigation, commissions paid to PT Catur Lumintu and PT Nusantara Proteksi Mandiri were returned to the PT Jasindo Jakarta Menteng branch at a rate of 93-95%, while the insurance agencies only retained 5-7%. These returned funds allegedly flowed to Untung and three other suspects: Zulchaibar (ZC), Commissioner of PT Nusantara Proteksi Mandiri; Yohanes Priyo Iriantono (YHP), Director of PT Inovasi Vahana Indonesia (2015-2020); and Eko Yuni Triyanto (EYT), Risk Management Manager at PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia (Persero).
Calculations by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) indicate that these unlawful acts and abuses of authority resulted in state losses amounting to Rp 15.602 billion. The four suspects detained by the KPK are:
Untung Hadi Santosa, former Director of Marketing and Corporate at PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Persero).
Eko Yuni Triyanto, former Risk Management Manager at PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia (Persero).
Yohanes Priyo Iriantono, Director of PT Inovasi Vahana Indonesia.
Zulchaibar, Commissioner of PT Nusantara Proteksi Mandiri.
The suspects are charged with violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes, as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001, in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) sub 1 and Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (KUHP).
