The Corruption Eradication COMMISSION (KPK) will coordinate suspected fraud cases at the Indonesian Export Financing Institution (LPEI) with the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung). Discussion is needed because the Ahayaksa Corps received a report from the Minister of Finance (Kemenkeu) Sri Mulyani.
“Well, it needs to be coordinated at the prosecutor’s office. Yesterday there were several companies to see if there was any connection with what was reported by the Corruption Eradication Commission,” said Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission, Alexander Marwata, at the KPK Juang Building, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 30 2024.
Coordination is important so that the AGO and KPK do not investigate the same case. Because, overlapping is prohibited based on applicable regulations.
Both law enforcers can investigate the same case if the context of the alleged corruption is different. The Corruption Eradication Commission and the Attorney General’s Office must disclose data to each other.
“If the companies are different, for example, it could involve many companies, then we will coordinate, we will divide it, then the Prosecutor’s Office will be how many companies, then the Corruption Eradication Committee will be how many companies,” said Alex.
However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) did not want to let go of the case if the AGO asked. Because, there is a role of LPEI officials that has been investigated for a long time.

“But when it comes to LPEI, we won’t be able to let it go because in providing credit there are roles from LPEI, LPEI management,” said Alex.
Previously, the Corruption Eradication Commission opened an investigation into alleged fraud that occurred at LPEI. The case was announced a day after Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani made a report on a similar problem at the Attorney General’s Office.
“The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has upgraded the investigation process of alleged irregularities or alleged criminal acts of corruption in the provision of credit facilities from LPEI to the status of an investigation,” said Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission Nurul Ghufron at the KPK’s Red and White Building, South Jakarta, Tuesday, March 19 2024.

Ghufron explained that the case was immediately announced after KPK investigators and structural officials held an exposure which was held today. The announcement was also made in response to Sri Mulyani’s complaint at the Attorney General’s Office.
According to him, the alleged corruption was reported to the KPK on May 10 2023. The Anti-Corruption Agency followed up and opened an investigation on February 13 2024.
