Even though he was named a suspect, Juliari escaped the KPK’s Hand-Catching Operation (OTT).
The KPK was looking for Juliari Batubara. Not only the PDI-Perjuangan politician, the KPK is also hunting down one other bribe suspect, Adi Wahyono (AW). Both were asked by the KPK to surrender.
“The KPK appealed to JPB and AW to be cooperative and immediately surrender themselves to the KPK,” said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuro while holding a press conference at his office, Jalan Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Sunday (6/12/2020), early in the morning.Also read: Official OTT of the Ministry of Social Affairs, KPK Secures Sekardus Money )
Monitoring in the field, Juliari Batubara suddenly came to the KPK’s Red and White Building, on Jalan Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. Juliari arrived at the KPK building at around 02.45 WIB. He wore a black jacket, hat, and complete with a mask.
He was reluctant to talk about the determination of the suspect in the case of alleged bribery for the procurement of social assistance packages for handling Covid-19 in Jabodetabek. Juliari went straight to the second floor of the KPK building for further investigation.
Previously, the KPK appointed Social Minister Juliari P Batubara as a suspect in accepting bribes. Juliari Batubara is suspected of having received a bribe of IDR 8.2 billion related to the procurement of a social assistance package (bansos) for the first period of Covid-19.
The Rp8.2 billion was received by Juliari Batubara through the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) Commitment Making Officer (PPK) Matheus Joko Santoso and Adi Wahyono. The money allegedly came from each social assistance package for Rp. 300 thousand, which was taken by Rp. 10,000 by Matheus and AW.
