T
he Attorney General’s Office (AGO) detained on Tuesday five people for their role in alleged corruption at ailing state-owned insurer Asuransi Jiwasraya.
Former Jiwasraya president director Hendrisman Rahim, former finance director Harry Prasetyo and former head of investment division and finance Syahmirwan were detained on Tuesday afternoon for their alleged involvement in Jiwasraya’s investment mismanagement.
Publicly listed property firm PT Hanson International president director Benny Tjokrosaputro and publicly listed PT Trada Alam Minera president commissioner Heru Hidayat were also named suspects and arrested, Antara reported.
“Five suspects have been detained," junior attorney general for special crimes Adi Toegarisman said as quoted by tribunnews.com on Tuesday.
The suspects have been charged with illegal enrichment and abuse of power as stipulated under articles 2 and 3 of the 2001 Corruption Law.
Benny and Harry were the first to be seen being escorted out of the AGO building at around 5 p.m. after being questioned earlier in the day, followed by Heru shortly after.
Around an hour later, handcuffed Hendrisman came out of the building, followed by Syahmirwan. All five were wearing AGO pink suspect vests.
