JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined the inactive former Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo (EP) as a witness in the bribery case for the export license of fry. He will be examined as a witness for the suspect Director of PT Dua Putra Perkasa (DPP) Suharjito (SJT).
"EP (Edhy Prabowo) was examined as a witness for the SJT suspect," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri through his statement in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Thursday, December 3.
In addition, the KPK also examined the Special Staff of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries as well as the Chief Executive of the Due Diligence Team Andreau Pribadi Misata (APM) as a witness for the suspect Edhy.
"APM was examined as a witness for the EP suspect (Edhy Prabowo)," said Ali.
In investigating the case, the KPK searched Edhy's official residence at the Widya Chandra Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, December 2. From this search, the KPK secured a number of documents related to the case, electronic evidence, and eight bicycles.
In addition, the KPK also found money in the form of rupiah and foreign currency totaling around IDR 4 billion.
In total, the KPK has named seven suspects in the case, namely Edhy Prabowo (EP), the Special Staff of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries as well as Deputy Chief Executive of the Due Diligence Team Safri (SAF), Andreau Pribadi Misata (APM), private / Personal Secretary Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Amiril Mukminin (AM).
Furthermore, the management of PT Aero Citra Kargo (ACK) Siswadi (SWD), the staff of the wife of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ainul Faqih (AF), and Suharjito (SJT).
The KPK in this case named Edhy as a suspect because he was suspected of accepting bribes from companies that had been issued a lobster seed export license using a "forwarder" company and was kept in one account up to Rp9.8 billion.
The money that goes to the account of PT ACK, which is currently the sole cargo service provider for the export of lobster seeds, is then withdrawn to the accounts of PT ACK holders, namely Ahmad Bahtiar and Amri, for a total of Rp9.8 billion.
Furthermore, on November 5, 2020, Ahmad Bahtiar transferred Rp3.4 billion to the staff account of Edhy's wife named Ainul which was earmarked for the needs of Edhy, his wife Iis Rosyati Dewi, Safri, and Andreau.
Among other things, it is used for shopping for luxury goods by Edhy and his wife in Honolulu, USA on November 21 to 23, 2020, amounting to around IDR 750 million, including Rolex watches, Tumi and LV bags, and Old Navy clothes.
In addition, around May 2020, Edhy was also suspected of receiving 100 thousand US dollars from Suharjito through Safri and Amiril.
