Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Member III of the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) and suspect in the corruption case for the BTS 4G project of the Ministry of Communication and Information, Achsanul Qosasi, again handed over US$ 619 thousand to the Attorney General’s Office. This handover means that the AGO has received a refund from Achsanul totaling US$ 2,640,000 or the equivalent of Rp. 40 billion.
“The prosecutor’s team has succeeded in trying to hand over a sum of USD 619,000 from Suspect AQ, so that the total handover of the money is worth USD 2,640,000 or the equivalent of IDR 40 billion,” said Head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Center, Ketut Sumedana, in a written statement, Tuesday (21 /11/2023).
Previously, Achsanul and another suspect, namely Sadikin Rusli, had already handed over a refund to the Attorney General of US$ 2,021,000 or the equivalent of Rp. 31.4 billion. With the handover of US$ 619 thousand, it means that the total money that has been returned by the suspect is equivalent to Rp. 40 billion or the same as the AGO suspects.
The Prosecutor’s Office named Achsanul as a suspect in a bribery case related to the BTS project and immediately detained him on November 3 2023. The Attorney General’s Office suspects that Achsanul received IDR 40 billion from businessmen involved in the BTS project at Kominfo. The money was allegedly given to condition the results of the audit carried out by the BPK on the implementation of the project.
“Based on the results of the investigation, it can be confirmed that the handover of the money was intended to condition the Audit of the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) on the BTS 4G infrastructure development project,” said Ketut.
