"So, stage two for the three suspects and evidence to the public prosecutor which took place today was carried out after the case file was declared complete," said the spokesman for the NTB High Prosecutor's Office, Efrien Saputera in Mataram, NTB, Friday 7 July.

After the NTB Prosecutor's Office investigators handed over three suspects and the case file, the public prosecutor (JPU) detained the suspects at the Mataram Class II A Prison.

The second phase of delegation for the three suspects and evidence was carried out at the NTB Prosecutor's Office. The three of them came to the prosecutor starting at 10.00 WITA with legal assistance.

The complete examination of the delegation files was completed at around 12.00 WITA. After the examination, the three were immediately taken by prosecutors to the Mataram Class II A Prison in Kuripan, West Lombok Regency.

Based on an Antara report, the NTB Prosecutor's Office investigators named three suspects in the corruption case of PT AMG mining in the Dedalpak Block, East Lombok.

Investigators named the three as suspects by applying Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.

PT AMG, which is headquartered in North Jakarta, was revealed to have the legality of an iron sand mining permit in the Dedalpak Block with a land area of 1,348 hectares. The permit is valid for 15 years from 2011 to 2026.

Permit issued based on the Decree of the Regent of East Lombok Number: 2821/503/PPT.II/2011 concerning Approval to Improve Mining Business Permits (IUP) Exploration to IUP for Production of Iron Sand and Mineral Followers in the Dedalpak Block which is included in Pringgabaya District and Labuhan Haji District, East Lombok.

In this case, it was revealed that there were indications that PT AMG carried out mining in the Dedalpak Block without obtaining annual RKAB approval from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Such mining activities took place in the period 2021-2022.

According to the regulations, the RKAB approval is a ticket for mining companies to operate. According to the regulations, there is a stipulation of the production fee or royalties that must be deposited by the company to the government in every sale of mining commodities.

The rules are in accordance with Article 18 of Government Regulation Number 81 of 2019 concerning Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) that apply to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

In the regulation, the government set royalty rates for iron sand commodities at 10 percent of the selling price.
