Corruption-TPPU Case Duta Palma Group, AGO Examines Director Of PT Asset Pacific

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is examining four witnesses regarding the investigation into cases of alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) in PT Duta Palma Group's oil palm plantation business activities. One of them is the Director of PT Asset Pacific.

"Investigating PA as Director of PT Asset Pacific," said Head of the AGO, Harli Siregar in his statement, Tuesday, October 8.

PT Asset Pacific is known to be one of seven corporate suspects in the alleged TPPU case of PT Duta Palma Group.

Then, the other three witnesses who were also questioned were NN as HRG Manager of PT Menara Capital Indonusa; MS as Driver; and NP who is the Office boy Palma Tower.

It was not detailed what the witnesses studied during the examination. It is only stated that they were questioned at the Directorate of Investigation at the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus).

The examination of the witnesses is also a development of the previous case which has named Surya Darmadi as a convict.

The development was carried out because from the judicial decision new evidence was obtained regarding the alleged corruption committed by the Palma Group Ambassador.

"The witness examination was carried out to strengthen the evidence and complete the filing in the case," said Harli.

In this case, the AGO has also named a total of 7 corporations as suspects. They are PT Palma Satu; PT Banyu Bening Utama; PT Panca Agro Lestari; PT Kencana Amal Tani; PT Asset Pacific; and PT Darmex Plantations.
