KPK Delegates PT JN Case, Former ASDP Directors Immediately Undergo Trial

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officially handed over the case file for alleged corruption in the acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara (PT JN) to the public prosecutor (JPU). This delegation is part of the follow-up legal process after the investigation is declared complete.

The KPK spokesman, Budi Prasetyo, in his statement on Friday, June 13, said that the delegation was carried out through the second stage of the law enforcement process, namely the submission of suspects and evidence from investigators to the public prosecutor.

He mentioned that this process involved three suspects, namely IPD and two other people who were former officials of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero).

"Investigators have completed the second phase of the process, namely by handing over evidence and suspects, IPD and friends, to the public prosecutor's team," said Budi.

With the completion of the investigation stage, the Public Prosecutor now has a maximum of 14 working days to prepare an indictment. After the indictment is completed, the case file will be transferred to the Corruption Court (Tipikor) for the trial process.

This case itself is part of an in-depth investigation into alleged corruption that occurred in the business cooperation and acquisition process of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) during the period 2019 to 2022. In this case, the KPK highlighted a number of irregularities that were suspected of having significantly harmed state finances.

The three people who have been named suspects and detained since February 13, 2025 are the President Director of PT ASDP for the 2017 period 2024 Ira Puspadewi, the Director of Commercial and Services for the 2019-2024 period Muhammad Yusuf Hadi, and the Director of Planning and Development for the 2020 period 2024 Harry Muhammad Adhi Caksono.

In the investigation process, the KPK found that the acquisition value of PT JN by PT ASDP reached Rp1,272 trillion. However, this value allegedly does not reflect the actual condition, causing considerable state financial losses, reaching Rp893 billion.

This figure shows that nearly three-quarters of the acquisition value is considered unreasonable and indicates an element of irregularities in business decision making involving state money.

The KPK said that the investigation process of this case had been carried out in depth and involved various related parties to ensure criminal liability from each individual involved.

The anti-corruption agency affirms its commitment to take firm action against any form of abuse of authority and corrupt practices, especially those that have a major impact on state financial losses.

This institution also invites all elements of society to continue to monitor the ongoing legal process, and urges the board of directors and officials in BUMN to be more transparent and professional in carrying out their duties and responsibilities.

The KPK emphasizes the importance of good corporate governance and high integrity as the main foundation in preventing corruption in the government and corporate sectors.

With the delegation of this case, it is hoped that the public can continue to follow the legal process which takes place openly at the Corruption Court.

The trial which will be held later will be a real test of efforts to eradicate corruption in the BUMN environment, as well as a momentum to strengthen accountability in the management of public funds.
