Today Former Pertamina Finance Director Is Worked On By The KPK Regarding LNG Corruption Cases

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned former Director of PT Pertamina Andri Trunajaya Hidayat today, Wednesday, July 31. He was questioned regarding the alleged procurement of liquid natural gas (LNG) by the state-owned company.

"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building on behalf of ATH as the Finance Director of PT Pertamina for the period 9 December 2011-28 November 2021," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, July 31.

It has not been detailed about the examination material that Andri will investigate. However, he is suspected of knowing the fraudulent practices related to the procurement process.

The KPK is currently developing a corruption case in the procurement of LNG at PT Pertamina (Persero) and named two people as suspects. They are Senior Vice President (SPV) Gas and Power Pertamina 2013-2014, Yenni Andayani and Hari Karyulianto who are Directors of Gas Pertamina 2012-2014.

Both of them were Karen's subordinates while serving as President Director (Director) of PT Pertamina (Persero). In addition, they got power from Karen to sign a sale and purchase agreement or sales purchase agreement (SPA) LNG Train 1 and Train 2 from a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc., Corpus Christie Liquefaction, LCC or CCL.

Meanwhile, Karen Agustiawan has been sentenced to nine years in prison in this case and a fine of Rp. 500 million by the Jakarta Corruption Court. He was declared legally and convincingly guilty of committing a criminal act of corruption.

Regarding this decision, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) at the KPK filed an appeal. This step was taken because the judge did not punish Karen for paying compensation of Rp. 1,091,280,281.81 and 104,016,65 US dollars as filed.
