BANDUNG - The Bandung City District Attorney (Kejari) revealed that they had examined about 23 witnesses in the alleged corruption case at the BUMD PT Migas Utama West Java (MUJ).

"For what we have examined as witnesses so far in this case, there are already more than 20 people, yes, around 23 people including funders (Pertamina) and other parties," said Head of the Bandung District Attorney's Office, Ridha Nurul Ihsan when contacted, Wednesday, July 9, as reported by Antara.

Ridha said, in this case, the Bandung City Prosecutor's Office is conducting an in-depth investigation into asset tracing, tracing the flow of funds resulting from corruption, collecting evidence, and continuing to examine witnesses.

So far, said Ridha, the loss in this case is estimated at around Rp. 86.2 billion, but the Bandung City Prosecutor's Office is still waiting for the results of the audit on the Calculation of State Losses (PKN) from the West Java Provincial Audit Agency (BPKP).

"We are still waiting for that. This audit by BPKP, goes hand in hand with the process at us," said Ridha.

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi ordered an evaluation for every BUMD in West Java.

The handling of corruption cases related to West Java BUMD, PT Migas Utama Jabar (MUJ) with an estimated state loss of Rp. 86.2 billion itself, is a form of evaluation that comes from external.

"I have already said that BUMD must be evaluated. And (now) the evaluation is being carried out by the Prosecutor's Office," said Dedi at Husein Sastranegara Airport Bandung, Wednesday (2/7).

Previously, the Bandung City Prosecutor's Office 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 former President Director of PT Migas Utama Jabar (MUJ), Begin Troys (BT), Monday (14/4) night in Kota Baru Parahyangan, West Bandung, and the team of investigators confiscated the house certificate and a land. This is related to allegations of corruption by MUJ's subsidiary, PT Energi Negeri Mandiri (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.
