REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- A big business leader has been prohibited to leave the country over alleged corruption case linked to Jakarta Bay reclamation.

"It is true the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has sent a letter to the Directorate General of Immigration of the ministry of justice to prohibit Sugianto Kusuma starting April 1, 2016 to leave the country for the next six months," KPK acting spokesperson Yuyuk Andriati said here on Sunday.

KPK prohibited Sugianto Kusuma alias Aguan Sugianto who is a top executive of Agung Sedayu Group in connection with the alleged case of bribery linked to the process of the draft by-law on Jakarta Bay reclamation.

PT Kapuk Naga Indah, the subsidiary of Agung Sedayu Group, has been known as one of the two developers that have received a permit to carry out reclamation at Jakarta Bay. The other company that has also received the permit is PT Muara Wisesa Samudera, the subsidiary of Agung Podomoro Group.

KPK has already named the president director of PT Agung Podomoro, Arieswan Widjaja, as a suspect who has paid Rp2 billion in bribes to chairman of the Gerindra Party faction in the Jakarta Legislative Assembly, Mohamad Sanusi, in connection with deliberation of draft by-laws on zoning plan for Jakarta's coastal area and small isles for 2015-2035 and on spatial plan for strategic North Jakarta coastal area.

KPK on Thursday (March 31) confiscated evidence in the form of cash money worth Rp1.14 billion out of a total of Rp2 billion commitment that has been paid by Ariesman to Sanusi through PT Agung Podomoro Land's personal assistant Trinanda Prihantoro.

The draft by-laws have been discussed for the past several months but the Jakarta provincial government and the Jakarta legislative assembly still failed to reach an agreement over them.

The Jakarta provincial government has demanded a contribution of 15 percent of the sales value of the effective land from reclamation reaching 58 percent of the total area.

A number of the lawmakers meanwhile has demanded a smaller contribution totaling only five percent.

So far no confirmation has been known if Sugianto has also bribed Sanusi or other lawmakers.

Sanusi if proven guilty will face a prison sentence of up to 20 years and a fine of up to Rp1 billion while Ariesman Widjaja five years and a fine of maximally Rp250 million.
