PDI-P chief implicated in graft case

The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Tue, 05/12/2009 9:21 AM | Headlines

The Corruption Court heard Monday that a portion of embezzled funds taken from a state-owned company were given to then president Megawati Soekarnoputri in 2003, reports indicate.

According to news services, a suspect told the court that Megawati received Rp 500 million ($48,000) from PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (RNI).

“The money was used to fund a political party’s campaign in Yogyakarta in 2003,” the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation’s (YLBHI) news portal www.primaironline.com quoted RNI former finance director Ranendra Dangin as saying to the antigraft court.

A source at Monday’s graft trial confirmed Ranendra’s testimony.

Ranendra did not specify whether the money went to Megawati’s personal account or the coffers of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).

A law forbids state enterprises from donating to any political parties.

Ranendra was named a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for the misappropriation of a total Rp 4.5 billion (US$440,000) allocated for the purchase of sugar from 2001 until 2004.

The case was part of a major corruption scandal reported to the KPK by Nasruddin Zulkarnaen, director of state-owned pharmaceutical firm PT Putra Rajawali Banjaran, (PRB) which is a subsidiary of RNI.

Nasruddin was shot dead on March 14, 2009, in an incident linked to the RNI graft case and a love triangle involving himself, golf caddy Rani Jazuli and suspended KPK chairman Antasari Azhar, who was recently arrested on murder charges.

Police said Monday the investigation into Nasruddin’s murder had been expanded to include corruption scandals implicating RNI.

“We have been collecting evidence and legal facts to investigate this case. Any reasonable motive we find, not just that involving the love drama, will be pursued,” Jakarta Police spokesman Adj. Sr. Comr. Chrysnanda Dwi Laksana told The Jakarta Post.

National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri said last week the motive for murder was not solely connected to the widely-reported love affair.

It was believed Nasruddin may have had evidence surrounding several cases before he was murdered, his lawyer Boyamin Saiman said.

“Nasruddin was an ambitious lobbyist. He stood a real chance of becoming RNI’s director but failed,” Boyamin said. “Nasruddin became angry and began to blackmail everybody, possibly including Antasari because he ignored Nasruddin’s reports of corruption.“

KPK deputy chief for corruption prevention Haryono Umar said Nasruddin had indeed reported many corruption cases to the commission, but denied the majority were not followed up.

Last week, Antasari’s wife Ida Laksmiwati submitted documents to the police on corruption cases that Nasruddin had forwarded to Antasari, mostly related to RNI.

“The biggest and most threatening corruption case that Nasruddin kept was the sale of RNI’s sugar cane processing plant in Gorontalo in 2003,” Boyamin said.

“The case involved many top officials at the time and Nasruddin had the evidence,” he added, refusing to mention any names.

Ari Yusuf Amir, one of Antasari’s lawyers, said the facts surrounding the 2003 scandal involving RNI’s Gorontalo plant were included in the documents.

Ari said the documents had been taken from Antasari’s home, not from the KPK office. “The KPK have the copies,” he said, denying Antasari withheld the reports by keeping them at home.

Meanwhile, Jakarta Police chief detective Sr. Comr. Iriawan said he had asked the Indonesia Financial Transaction Reports Analysis Center (PPATK) to trace financial transactions between the three murder suspects: Antasari, media magnate Sigid Haryo Wibisono and former South Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Wiliardi Wizar. (bbs)

PDI-P Denies Illegal Campaign Funding

The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) on Tuesday rejected a claim made by a state-owned company official on trial for corruption that it had received campaign funding from an illegal source.

Ranendra Dangin, the former chief financial officer of state-owned company Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia, told the Anti-Corruption Court on Monday during his trial that RNI had made a contribution of Rp 500 million ($48,000) to PDI-P’s chairwoman, former President Megawati Sukarnoputri, during her re-election campaign in 2004.

The donation, Ranendra said, was recorded in RNI’s financial reports.

According to the Election Law, it is illegal for presidential and legislative candidates, as well as political parties, to receive funding from state-owned companies.

PDI-P secretary general Pramono Anung on Tuesday denied Ranendra’s claim.

“We want Ranendra to prove his claims,” he said. “All of PDI-P’s campaign funds, including Megawati’s, were audited, transparent and came from legitimate sources.”

Pramono added that in 2004, he personally managed Megawati’s re-election campaign and had access to all the details of the campaign funds. “There were no donations from RNI or any other illegal sources,” he said.

A member of PDI-P’s advisory committee and husband of Megawati, Taufik Kiemas, said that he did not know if RNI made donations to PDI-P that year.

Prosecutors from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) allege that Ranendra embezzled Rp 4.6 billion — the majority of which came from an escrow account belonging to RNI and its subsidiary, Mitra Ogan — transferring the money to his personal account in 2004. He labeled the money as tax penalties and administration
fees.

The account was opened in 2001 after RNI and Bulog, the state logistics company, were granted monopoly rights over the importation of high-quality refined sugar. RNI subcontracted part of the project to Mitra Ogan, which is involved in the sugar industry.

So from highly unbalanced to highly unbalanced in Golkar's favour?

Well I think she's only paid to seduce..
