Towards the end of 2020, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held a Sting Operation and arrested dozens of individuals, including the Mayor of Cimahi, Ajay Muhammad Priatna (PDIP). Ajay was immediately named a suspect for allegedly accepting Rp1.6 billion in grafts. Ajay was found guilty in August 2021, but the Panel of Judges only sentenced him to less than a third of the punishment demanded by the prosecutors. Apart from the disappointing decision, Ajay still has to deal with the KPK in a different case. This week, Ajay was found guilty, again, for bribing a former investigator of the KPK.

In the next three days, April 11, 2023 to April 13, 2023, the Satuan Tugas Penanganan Hak Tagih Negara Dana Bantuan Likuiditas Bank Indonesia (Satgas BLBI) scheduled meetings with at least 35 obligors. Most of them are companies and their management. The total liabilities/outstandings that were billed, including administration fees, reached almost Rp700 billion. Tomorrow, the Satgas scheduled meetings with 15 obligors.

Meranti Islands Regent, Muhammad Adil, was arrested in a sting operation carried out by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) towards the end of last week. Adil has been in the headlines some time ago because of an argument with the Ministry of Finance. He even mentioned that the ministry is filled with demons. Now, when the Ministry of Finance is in the spotlight, it turns out that Muhammad Adil isn’t exactly a good person either.

The Government’s anti-corruption spirit was tarnished after the wealth of Rafael Alun Trisambodo, a tax official, came under scrutiny. Later, Rafael was suspected of having wealth related to suspicious transactions that had been carried out for more than 12 years. Rafael was named suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) last week, but the process was only made official at the beginning of this week.

Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe (Demokrat), is a powerful figure on the island. He is serving his second period as Governor relatively far from media coverage. However, the little coverage does not mean Lukas is clean. In September 2022, we learned that the Directorate General of Immigration had imposed a travel ban on Lukas, based on a request from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The KPK has not announced anything at the time, but for some, the travel ban and the widespread alleged crime related to Lukas is long overdue. The KPK confirmed that they had named Lukas as a suspect, but we had to wait until 2023 to find out the details of the case that finally ensnared Lukas. This week, the trial of the briber started.

In the past week, the Satuan Tugas Penanganan Hak Tagih Negara Dana Bantuan Likuiditas Bank Indonesia (Satgas BLBI), the task force under Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati’s supervision, publish summons for obligors in the BLBI scandal every working day. Among the obligors who have just been summoned, there are familiar names, including Andri Tedjadharma.

New announcements regarding summons for obligors in the BLBI scandal continue to be issued by Satuan Tugas Penanganan Hak Tagih Negara Dana Bantuan Likuiditas Bank Indonesia (Satgas BLBI), the task force under Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati’s supervision. Several names that had never been published before were also announced this time. Below are some of the parties whose summons were published in the current week.

In the midst of criticism for performance that did not meet expectations, in the past two weeks, Satuan Tugas Penanganan Hak Tagih Negara Dana Bantuan Likuiditas Bank Indonesia(Satgas BLBI) has continued to announce summons for obligors. On the same day as the summons for the Honoris’ brothers, the Satgas also announced two summons related to Bank Putera Multikarsa, formerly controlled by Marimutu Sinivasan, and Bank Umum Servitia formerly controlled by David Nusa Wijaya and Tarunodjojo Nusa.

Satuan Tugas Penanganan Hak Tagih Negara Dana Bantuan Likuiditas Bank Indonesia (Satgas BLBI) continued to give pressures. Towards the end of last week, the Satgas published five billing/collection announcements, one announcement was made specifically for Samadikun Hartono, his brothers and other parties in relation to their outstanding on Bank Umum Nasional and Bank Uppindo. Samadikun and his brothers raised the Modern Group after the death of their father, Otje Honoris, but the family is not widely known to the public.

At the end of February 2023, David Ozora (17), the son of Jonathan Latumahina – a close friend of the Minister of Religion, Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, who is also a member of GP Ansor, was attacked and assaulted by Mario Dandy Satrio (20), the son of an Echelon III official at the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun Trisambodo. David ended up in a coma and has just regained consciousness over a month after the incident happened. What starts out as an ordinary “juvenile delinquency” turns into another serious crime after it is discovered that Rafael Alun Trisambodo has an unreasonable amount of wealth. An investigation into the source of Rafael’s wealth began less than a week after the incident occurred. Last week, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed that they had named Rafael as a suspect. Rafael has been suspected of abusing his authority and receiving grafts since 2011. Various information regarding Rafael and his alleged crimes emerged and calls to pass the Bill on Forfeiture of Criminal Assets are getting stronger.
