KPK Finds Out The Purchase Of Assets Allegedly Related To Corruption Acquisition Of PT Jembatan Nusantara By ASDP

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the purchase of assets by the owner of PT Jembatan Nusantara, Adjie, which is suspected of being related to the alleged corruption in the acquisition process of his company by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero). This step was taken by examining Marlina Flora, who is a notary.

KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika said the witness with the initials MF was questioned on Thursday, October 17. Requests for information were made at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"The MF witness was investigated in connection with the purchase of assets by suspect A," said Tessa in a written statement, Friday, October 18.

As for this case, the KPK has confiscated 15 assets worth hundreds of billions. Two of them are in the elite area of Jakarta.

In addition, investigators are also investigating the due diligence process when examining PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Accounting VP, Evi Dwijayanti.

Previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating cases of corruption in business cooperation (KSU) and the acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero). It is suspected that there has been a state loss which allegedly reached Rp1.27 trillion and is still changing because the calculation continues.

A total of four people have been named as suspects in this case. From the information gathered they are Ira Puspadewi who is the president director; Harry MAC as planning and development director; Yusuf Hadi who is the commercial and service director; and Adjie who is the owner of PT Jembatan Nusantara.

A VOI source said this loss arose because the acquisition process for PT Jembatan Nusantara did not comply with the regulations. Reporting from a number of reports, PT ASDP purchased PT Jembatan Nusantara in February 2022 with a value of IDR 1.3 trillion.

This state-owned company then controlled 100 percent of PT Jembatan Nusantara shares with 53 ships under management. "The process (in carrying out business cooperation and acquisition, ed) has no legal basis," he said.

"So all acquisition rules are violated," is still quoted from the same source.
