BPK Calculating State Losses in Alleged School Fund Corruption by Panji Gumilang

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Audit Board (BPK) is calculating state losses in the Panji Gumilang corruption crime. This was revealed by the Special Economic Crimes Directorate of the Police's Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim)

Dittipideksus has received an Analysis Results Report (LHA) from the Financial Transaction Analysis Reporting Center (PPATK).

"Regarding the criminal act of corruption, there is still a need for PKN or calculation of state losses by the BPK," Bareskrim's director of special economic crimes, Brig. Gen. Whisnu Hermawan Februanto, said on Wednesday, August 16.

Whisnu said that in its analysis report, the PPATK explained the pattern of money laundering transactions Panji Gumilang allegedly committed through the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School.

"The conclusion is that investigators agree to escalate the case proceedings from inquiry process to an investigation," Whisnu said.

Panji Gumilang could be facing charges of money laundering (TPPU) and corruption. For money laundering, he allegedly violated articles on foundations and embezzlement. For the case of corruption, he is suspected of misconduct in dealing with the School Operational Assistance (BOS) fund.

Panji Gumilang was questioned by the police on August 7, during which he did not deny that there are allegations of money laundering.

The Dittipidexus traced the alleged money laundering crime committed by Panji Gumilang after receiving a report from PPATK, which suggested that he laundered approximately Rp15 trillion.

Now that the case has entered the realm of investigation, Whisnu said that Panji Gumilang will have his account confiscated and the police would freeze the billions of rupiah in his balance.
