KPK Will Check PT Mineral Trobos Boss After Not Attending Due To Illness

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to recall the Commissioner of PT Mineral Trobos, David Glen Oei. He should have been summoned regarding the alleged gratification and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba on Tuesday, August 27.

"The DGO witness was not present because he was sick," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters, Monday, September 2.

Even so, Tessa doesn't know when the recall will be made. "There is no more information from the investigator yet," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK named the inactive North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). He is suspected of washing up to Rp100 billion.

The determination of this suspect was carried out as the development of the alleged bribery of goods and services procurement projects as well as the granting of permits within the North Maluku Provincial Government. He has been detained along with five other suspects since December 20 after being caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT).

In addition, the KPK named Abdul Gani Kasuba's confidant, Muhaimin Syarif, who is the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra Party DPD as a suspect. He is suspected of bribing former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba in the amount of IDR 7 billion for the management of the Production Operation IUP to the proposed determination of the mining business permit (WIUP) area to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Then this gift is also related to projects within the North Maluku Provincial Government. The bribe was given by Muhaimin Syarif directly to Abdul Gani or through aides and through banking transactions.
