Ankara: Indonesia's anti-corruption body is probing the alleged misuse of trillions of Indonesian rupiah by the lawmakers and officials of the central bank during the previous government, according to local media.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Corruption Eradication Commission's director of investigations, Asep Guntur, stated that the Bank of Indonesia has allegedly funneled trillions of rupiah to members of the House of Representatives under a supposed corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, Jakarta Globe reported on Wednesday.

Asep mentioned, "We're talking about trillions, but the exact amount will be announced later," indicating the scale of the alleged financial misconduct. However, the official refrained from sharing further details concerning any suspects, although several lawmakers and central bank officials have already been questioned.

The possibility remains that if the funds were utilized appropriately for CSR programs, such as constructing school buildings, then there would be no issue. However, Asep noted indications of misuse, suggesting the funds may not have been used as intended.

The anti-corruption agency plans to release further details as the investigation progresses, remaining committed to uncovering any potential misconduct.
