Jakarta (B2B) - Mantan Kepala SKK Migas yang juga tersangka korupsi Rudi Rubiandini memberikan keterangan kepada KPK terkait keterlibatan skandal gratifikasi dan atau suap atas nama tersangka mantan Sekjen Kementerian ESDM Waryono Karyo.

"Saya barusan cuma diperiksa sebagai saksi untuk Pak Waryono," kata Rudi seusai menjalani pemeriksaan oleh penyidik di gedung KPK, Jakarta, Rabu.

Rudi yang keluar mengenakan rompi jingga khas Tahanan KPK itu mengatakan Berita Acara Pemeriksaan (BAP) terhadap Waryono sama seperti yang pernah ditujukan kepadanya saat diperiksa oleh penyidik komisi antigratifikasi itu.

"Tapi isinya hanya mengkopi BAP saya yang lama menjadi BAP saksinya Pak Waryono. Jadi tidak ada yg baru. Maka perkembangannya masih sama," katanya.

Selain mantan Kepala SKK Migas itu, KPK juga memeriksa pelatih golf Rudi Rubiandini, Deviardi, terkait kesaksian keduanya untuk tersangka Waryono.

Rudi dikabarkan pernah dihubungi oleh Waryono agar memberi sejumlah uang untuk tunjangan hari raya bagi para anggota Komisi VII DPR RI.

Uang THR itu diduga menjadi alat pemulus kepentingan Kementerian ESDM di komisi yang membidangi energi itu.

KPK telah menetapkan Waryono Karno sebagai tersangka dugaan gratifikasi dan atau suap di lingkungan Kementerian ESDM.

Komisi antigratifikasi itu juga telah memeriksa Direktur Utama Pertamina Galaila Karen Kardinah.

Jakarta (B2B) - Rudi Rubiandini, former Indonesian upstream oil and gas regulator chief and graft suspect, Rudi Rubiandini, testified before the anti-graft body pertaining to the alleged involvement of former energy mineral resources secretary general Waryono Karno in a graft case.

"I have just been questioned as a witness in the case against Pak (Mr) Waryono," Rudi stated at the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) building here on Wednesday.

Rudi noted that the report on the investigation of the Waryono case was the same as that given to him by the KPK during his questioning some time ago.

"But, the content is similar to the old report on the investigation of my case when Pak Waryono acted as witness (in my case). So, there is nothing new. The development stays the same," he pointed out.

The KPK also questioned Rudis golf trainer, Deviardi, as a witness in the case against Waryono on Wednesday.

Waryono reportedly contacted Rudi to offer a sum of money as "holiday bonuses" for the members of the House Commission VII overseeing the energy and mineral resources sector. The bonuses are believed to have eased the deliberation of the energy and mineral resources ministrys budget at the House.

The KPK named Waryono as a suspect after intensifying its investigations in a bribery case involving former chief of the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKK Migas) Rudi Rubiandini.

Rudi was named as a suspect for allegedly accepting a bribe of US$400 thousand from the commissioner of PT Kernel Oil Private Limited, SGT, through his golf trainer.

He was arrested at his house in Jl, Brawijaya, South Jakarta, on Aug. 13. Later, the KPK also named Rudi as a suspect in the money-laundering case.

Following the arrest of the former SKK Migas chief, the KPK officers conducted searches in a number of places, including the office of the secretary general of the ministry, from whom they seized US$200 thousand.

Waryono has already been questioned on at least five occasions, as a witness in the case. He was questioned about the money handed over to Rudi.
