The Head Of The Bandung District Attorney's Office Said Ridwan Kamil Would Be Questioned About Corruption Related To MUJ

BANDUNG- Bandung District Attorney (Kejari) revealed that there is a possibility of examining Ridwan Kamil regarding the alleged corruption related to West Java BUMD, PT Migas Utama Jabar (MUJ), considering that when the case occurred, the person concerned was the Governor of West Java.

"Earlier it was conveyed that there may be new suspects. Everything will develop. Meanwhile, it has not been (examined), but the women (are in that direction)," said Head of the Bandung Kejari Irfan Wibowo in Bandung, Friday, as reported by Antara.

However, Irfan emphasized that they will move according to the findings in the development of the investigation of the case which has the potential to cause state losses of around Rp. 86.2 billion, where currently three suspects have been named in it.

"We are talking about using evidence. Today three people have been named as suspects, then they will be examined again as suspects, there can be a disclosure of the roles to what extent and other parties involved," he said.

Irfan believes that this case will be openly open, but it does take time because the mode used is quite complicated by involving quite a number of parties. "(Like) The source of the money is indeed from Pertamina Hulu Energi," he said.

Three Suspects

Previously, the Bandung City District Attorney named three suspects consisting of BT, NW and RAP and detained all of them for 20 days, in connection with the alleged corruption crime of Rp. 86 billion related to one West Java BUMD, PT Migas Utama Jabar (MUJ), Friday.

The head of the Bandung City Prosecutor's Office, Irfan Wibowo, was met at the Bandung District Attorney's Office, saying that the three suspects, consisting of BT (Begin Troys), NW (Nugroho Widyantoro) and RAP (Ruli Adi Prasetia), were involved in alleged corruption in the provision of goods/services between PT Energi Negeri Mandiri (ENM), which is a subsidiary of MUJ, with PT Serba Dinamik Indonesia (SDI) from 2022 to 2023.

This case began with MUJ getting 10 percent of the participating interest (PI) funds received from one of Pertamina's subsidiaries. Overall, the budget obtained is around Rp800 billion since 2017 which was given as a form of Pertamina's responsibility for areas affected by the oil exploration refinery project in the Pantura area of Java.

Then, PT MUJ used the budget to fund its subsidiaries, one of which was PT ENM. Obtaining fresh capital from the parent company, PT ENM then collaborated to sub-contract the project for the procurement of goods and services in 2022-2023 for the needs of refineries with the private sector, namely PT Serba Dinamik Indonesia (SDI).

PT SDI itself can get the project from one of Pertamina's subsidiaries. But apparently, in fact, the project that was sub-contracted to PT ENM was considered illegal because it was without the approval and knowledge of the project's employer.

This caused losses by PT ENM as a subsidiary of BUMD West Java Province, namely PT MUJ, amounting to Rp86.2 billion.

The Bandung City Prosecutor's Office has also searched the house of MUJ President Director Begin Troys, who is also the Head of the Management Division of the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono Campaign Team in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada, on Monday (14/4) night.

At a house located in Baru Parahyangan City, West Bandung, the investigative team confiscated a house certificate and a land related to alleged corruption by a subsidiary of MUJ, namely PT ENM.

In addition to confiscating house and land certificates, the Bandung City Prosecutor's Office has secured a total of 42 items of documents from BT's residence. Meanwhile, a search was also carried out at the office of a subsidiary of MUJ, PT ENM, Jalan Jakarta, Bandung City, where 56 items of documents were secured.

In addition to documents, there are also several foreign currency denominations, as well as ATM cards at Bank Mandiri Gold Debit, as well as BCA Dollar Bank ATMs.
