Jakarta –
The Corruption Eradication Commission found checks worth IDR 2 trillion when searching the official residence of the former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL). UGM Anti-Corruption Center (Pukat) researcher Zaenur Rohman asked KPK First check the contents of the check.
“What needs to be investigated further by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is firstly the veracity of the checks. The Corruption Eradication Committee can check the contents of the checks to see whether the checks have contents or are empty checks. Because of the Rp. 2 trillion, I don’t know whether this practice exists or not,” “But it seems like the figure of IDR 2 trillion in the form of a check is a very large amount,” Zaenur told reporters, Monday (16/10/2023).
“How do you do it? Yes, ask for help from PPATK or the KPK itself asks the bank to look at the contents of the account related to the person in the check. If it’s for law enforcement, that’s possible,” he added.
Then, he also asked the KPK to investigate the figure on the check. Zaenur said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) must also investigate the importance of the check with the fantastic value.
“Secondly, what name is on the check, who is it, is it related to SYL and so on. Thirdly, whether or not it is related to a criminal act being investigated by the Corruption Eradication Commission. That can be traced, when it was given, for what purpose and so on,” he said .
“I’m actually still wondering whether the contents of IDR 2 trillion are true. Everyone can make a check. If the contents have been moved, the PPATK can trace them in this big case,” he added.
Previously, the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) revealed that checks of fantastic value were found when they searched the official residence of former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL). The investigative team found checks worth IDR 2 trillion.
“After we checked and confirmed, we obtained information that it was true that there was the evidence in question,” said Head of KPK News Affairs Ali Fikri when confirmed, Monday (16/10). He answered the question of finding a check for IDR 2 trillion at SYL’s official residence.
SYL’s official residence in the South Jakarta area was searched by KPK investigators on Thursday (28/9). At that location, investigators also found cash worth IDR 30 billion and 12 firearms.
Ali has not provided details regarding the ownership of this fantastic check. He said that his party would examine a number of witnesses to confirm indications that the checks were related to the SYL corruption case.
“We need confirmation and clarification from various parties first, including witnesses, suspects and other related parties to ensure the validity of the check in question. Including whether there is a direct link to the main case that the Corruption Eradication Committee is currently resolving,” explained Ali.
