Trial Of Alleged Corruption Danny Praditya Director Of PGN Ysng Rugikan Negara Rp246 M

JAKARTA The trial for alleged corruption in the Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (PJBG) between PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) and PT Inti Alasindo Energy (IAE)/Isargas Group was again held at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court, Monday (8/12/2025). This case is registered with number 86/Pid.Sus-TPK/2025/PN.Jkt.Pst. In its indictment, the KPK prosecutor accused former Commercial Director of PGN for the 2016 period 2019, Danny Praditya, of irregularities related to advanced payment of US$15 million. The action was considered to have caused state losses of around Rp246 billion. Prosecutors charged Danny using Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code. However, the legal team assessed that the construction of the indictment was not in line with the facts of the trial.

Spokesperson for the legal advisory team of Abhisatya Law Firm, FX L. Michael Shah, said that the three experts presented actually strengthened the argument that state losses must be real, the board of directors' decisions are collective-core, and criminal elements in Articles 2 and 3 require the existence of true intentions and losses. The three experts who provided the information were Dr. Dian Puji Simatupang, SH, MH (state administration and finance law expert), Dr. Chairul Huda, SH, MH. (criminal law expert), as well as Prof. Dr. Nindyo Pramono, SH., MS. (corporate law expert). In his testimony, Dr. Dian Puji emphasized that the deletion of books is administrative in nature and does not necessarily remove obligations substantially. Deletion of books only removes receivable accounts. In another note it remains stated that the bill is still required to be billed,'' he explained. He quoted Article 62 paragraph (4) of Law 1/2004 concerning State Treasury, which asserted that booking is aimed at optimizing management, not eliminating collection obligations. Dian also emphasized that final elimination must follow a legal procedure and agreement. If there is no agreement of the Board of Commissioners, GMS, or BPKP/BPKD, then the action is not valid,''' he said. The legal team assessed the argument that state losses must be real and definite', not an assumption. They also called PGN 2020 2021 financial reports still record advanced payments as recoverable funds, so that elements of state losses are considered to have not been fulfilled
