Jakarta (B2B) - Sofyan Djalil, mantan Menteri BUMN mendatangi Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) untuk diperiksa dalam penyidikan kasus dugaan korupsi pemberian fasilitas pendanaan jangka pendek (FPJP) kepada Bank Century dan penetapan bank tersebut sebagai bank gagal berdampak sistemik.
"Saya saksi dalam kasus pak Budi Mulya," kata Sofyan saat tiba di gedung KPK Jakarta sekitar pukul 13.00 WIB, Jumat.
Seharusnya Sofyan diperiksa pada Rabu (15/1), namun ia tidak dapat memenuhi panggilan pemeriksaan tersebut.
Sofyan yang menjadi menteri BUMN pada 2007-2009, mengaku saat dana talangan KPK dikucurkan pada 2008 menjabat sebagai Menteri Keuangan ad-interm.
"Waktu itu saya kebetulan Menteri Keuangan ad-interim sewaktu Bank Century kalah clearing, itu saja, mungkin dalam konteks itu saya dipanggil," ungkap Sofyan.
Sofyan mengonfirmasi bahwa memang ada dana BUMN yang sempat disimpan di Bank Century.
"Makanya diselamatkan, jadi amanlah dia (BUMN), ada empat atau lima yang menyimpan deposito," katanya.
Ia tidak menjelaskan BUMN apa saja yang menyimpan dananya di Bank Century.
"Kalau tidak salah kurang dari Rp1 triliun, sekitar Rp600-700 miliar," jelas Sofyan.
Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan menyatakan kerugian negara akibat pemberian FPJP dari Bank Indonesia ke Bank Century mencapai Rp689,3 miliar, sedangkan penetapan Bank Century sebagai bank gagal berdampak sistemik sehingga merugikan keuangan negara sebesar Rp6,76 triliun sehingga total kerugian negara adalah Rp7,4 triliun.
KPK dalam kasus ini baru menetapkan mantan Deputi Bidang IV Pengelolaan Devisa Bank Indonesia Budi Mulya sebagai tersangka dan telah ditahan sejak 15 November 2013 lalu di rumah tahanan KPK.
Sebenarnya ada pihak lain yang dapat dimintai pertanggungjawaban hukum yaitu mantan Deputi Bidang V Pengawasan BI Siti Chodijah Fajriah namun saat ini Fajriah masih sakit sehingga belum bisa dimintai pertanggungjawaban pidana.
Jakarta (B2B) - Sofyan Djalil, former state own enterprises (SOE) minister fulfilled a summons by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday to act as a witness in the controversial bailout of Bank Century (now Bank Mutiara).
"I am a witness in the case of Mr. Budi Mulya," he stated when he arrived at the KPK building here at around 1 p.m.
The KPK had originally planned to question Djalil on Friday (Jan. 15) but he had not shown up.
Djalil who was state enterprises minister from 2007 to 2009 stated that he was ad interim finance minister when the government bailed out troubled Bank Century in 2008.
"I was ad-interim finance minister when Bank Century had trouble in clearing payments. Maybe I have been summoned because of that," he pointed out.
Djalil explained that a number of state-owned banks had put their money in Bank Century.
"So it (the bank) was rescued and the funds were safe. Four or five state firms had time deposits with the bank," he remarked.
But he declined to reveal the details of the state firms.
"If I am not mistaken the money was less than Rp1 trillion. It was about Rp600-700 billion," he confirmed.
According to the State Audit Board (BPK), the granting of short-term assistance (FPJP) facility to Bank Century had resulted in a loss of Rp689.3 billion and the status of the bank was listed as "failed" brought about systemic effects causing the state a loss of Rp6.76 trillion. Overall, the state had suffered Rp7.4 trillion in losses from the case.
The KPK has named Budi Mulya, the former Bank Indonesia deputy for foreign exchange management, as suspect in the case. He has been held in the KPK detention center since November 15 last year.
Budi Mulya is charged with abusing his authority based on article 3 of Law No. 31/1999 on corruption eradication.
Besides Budi Mulya, another BI executive considered accountable for extending the loan is Siti Chodijah Fajriah, but investigation has been hampered by the fact that she is too ill to undergo a legal trial.
Bank Century received a bailout of Rp6.7 trillion during the financial crisis of 2008, despite failing to fulfill the requirements for the bailout.
According to the BPK, Bank Indonesia did not take strict action against the bank. Instead, it modified its own regulations to allow the bank to receive the loan.
