TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned Sandiaga Uno regarding the case of alleged money laundering in PT Garuda Indonesia share purchase.
"He is questioned for the suspect MN (Muhammad Nazaruddin, former treasurer of Democrat Party)," Priharsa Nugraha, KPK Head of News, said earlier this morning.
Sandiaga came to KPK building at 09.45 and confirmed to testify for Nazaruddin. "Yes, for Nazaruddin, about the investment."
This case was started when Nazaruddin purchased PT Garuda share at PT Mandiri Sekuritas in October 2011. Through his five enterprises: PT Permai Raya Wisata, PT Exartech Technology Utama, PT Cakrawaja Abadi, PT Darmakusumah and PT Pacific Putra Metropolitan, Nazaruddin purchased Garuda share for Rp300.85 billion.
Nazaruddin’s share details consists of Rp300 billion to purchase 400 million shares and Rp850 million for Mandiri Sekuritas. The payment has been done in four terms: by cash, real time gross settlement, and two times of bank transfer. The share purchase was traced due to the money allegedly coming from managing government’s project, one of which is Wisma Atlet project bribery managed by PT Duta Graha Indah.
Sandiaga Uno is one of the commissioners at the mentioned company. However, he refused to comment on PT Duta Graha bribery, saying: "I don’t know that."
