Jakarta (B2B) - Budi Mulya, tersangka kasus dugaan korupsi pemberian fasilitas pendanaan jangka pendek (FPJP) kepada Bank Century dan penetapan bank Century sebagai bank gagal berdampak sistemik Budi Mulya akan disidang pada awal Maret 2014.
"Awal bulan depan sidangnya, tadi hanya penyerahan dari penyidik ke penuntut umum, hanya itu," kata pengacara Budi Mulya, Luhut M Pangaribuan di gedung Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) Jakarta, Selasa (11/2).
Budi Mulya adalah mantan Deputi Gubernur Bank Indonesia Bidang IV Pengelolaan Devisa yang sudah ditahan sejak 15 November 2013 lalu.
"Jadi penyidikan sudah ditutup untuk Pak Budi Mulya dan diserahkan ke jaksa penuntut umum (JPU), menurut perkiraan JPU dalam waktu tidak lebih lama dari dua minggu, surat dakwaan sudah selesai jadi awal bulan Maret sudah akan ada sidang pertama," tambah Luhut.
KPK setidaknya sudah memeriksa lebih dari 90 saksi dalam kasus yang sudah ditangani KPK sejak 2009 tersebut, para saksi adalah orang-orang yang menghadiri rapat Komite Stabilitas Sistem Keuangan (KSSK) pada November 2008 untuk menetapkan pemberian dana talangan kepada Bank Century.
Saksi-saksi tersebut antara lain adalah Wakil Presiden Boediono selaku Gubernur BI saat itu, mantan ketua KSSK mantan Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani, mantan Komisioner di Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan (LPS) sekaligus anggota KKSK Darmin Nasution, Dirjen Pajak Fuad Rahmany yang pernah menjabat sebagai Ketua Badan Pengawas Pasar Modal dan Lembaga Keuangan (Bappepam/LK).
Selain itu, Ketua Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) Muliaman Hadad yang pernah menjabat sebagai Deputi Gubernur BI, Deputi Gubernur BI yang sebelumnya menjabat Direktur Eksekutif Direktorat Penelitian dan Pengaturan Perbankan (DPNP) Halim Alamsyah dan sejumlah saksi lainnya.
"Dia (Budi Mulya) akan mengungkapkan seluruhnya tentang FPJP karena dia juga ikut dalam pengambilan keputusan FPJP," tambah Luhut.
Artinya Luhut tidak mau memperkirakan apakah KPK akan menyeret orang lain sebagai tersangka dalam kasus tersebut.
"Kita masih belum tahu surat dakwaan itu, apakah (tersangka) tunggal apakah bersama-sama, kita tidak bisa berspekulasi tentang itu, kita akan lihat setelah membaca dakwaan dan BAP, jadi sekarang belum ada hal yang baru," tambah Luhut.
Jakarta (B2B) - Budi Mulya, former Bank Indonesia (BI) deputy governor is scheduled to stand trial in early March, on charges of abusing his authority in the Bank Century bailout case.
"His trial will begin early next month. This morning, the investigator only handed over (his dossiers) to the public prosecutor," Luhut M. Pangaribuan, Budi Mulyas lawyer, stated at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) here on Tuesday.
Budi Mulya, who was former BI deputy governor for foreign exchange management, has been under detention since November 15, last year.
"The investigation of Budi Mulyas case has concluded and the result of the investigation has been handed over to the public prosecutor," he added.
According to the public prosecutor, a letter of indictment against Budi Mulya will be completed in two weeks time and the first trial session will start in early March, he remarked.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has interrogated more than 90 witnesses related to the bailout case since 2009. They included those attending a meeting of the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) in November 2008, in order to decide the bailout of the ailing bank, at the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008.
The witnesses included former BI governor Boediono, who is currently the vice president, former KSSK chief and finance minister Sri Mulyani, former commissioner of the Deposit Insurance Institute (LPS) and KSSK member Darmin Nasution, Director General of Taxation Fuad Rahmany, who was formerly the chief of the Capital Market and Financial Institutions Supervisory Board (Bappepam-LK).
The others were former BI deputy governor Muliaman Hadad, who is currently serving as the chief of the Financial Service Authority (OJK) and former executive director of BIs banking research and regulation directorate Halim Alamsyah, who is currently serving as the deputy governor of BI.
"He (Budi Mulya) will divulge details about the entire process of granting a short-term funding facility (to Bank Century) because he was involved in the decision-making process," Luhut remarked.
He refused to speculate on whether the KPK will name another suspect in the case.
"We have no idea about the indictment. We cannot speculate on whether or not he will be a single suspect in the case," he reported.
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 State Audit Board (BPK), Bank Indonesia did not take strict action against the bank. Instead, it altered its own regulations in order to allow the bank to receive the loan.
Budi Mulya was detained as a suspect for his role in extending a short-term funding facility to Bank Century and declaring it a failed bank.
