On April 24, 2017, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named a suspect in the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) graft case, i.e., the former Chairman of the Indonesia’s Bank Restructuring Agency (BPPN) Syafruddin Arsyad “Syaf” Temenggung, who is also a suspect on another graft case implicating PT Victoria Securities International. In January 2019, Syaf was convicted to 15 years imprisonment after the Jakarta High Court aggravated the sentences previously handed by the Corruption Court of the Central Jakarta District Court. In the indictment, the Prosecutors of the KPK notes that Syaf had committed the crime together with Sjamsul Nursalim and his wife Itjih Nursalim, but until the trial was over, the KPK did not name any new suspect. Last week the KPK told the press they had started a new inquisition into the same case, which usually means that the KPK already has a new suspect, but the KPK was silent.
