The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the origin of the money used by the suspect in the corruption case of business cooperation and the acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) to buy property up to foreign exchange.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the search was carried out by examining the President Director of PT Mahkota Pratama, Rudy Santoso at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Tuesday, July 15. He was examined in his capacity as a witness.

"The hospital was present and investigated regarding the flow of money enjoyed by the suspect which was used to purchase property, gold and foreign assets," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, July 16.

Budi did not specify who the suspect was. However, currently only Adjie is the owner of PT Jembatan Nusantara who has not yet been tried.

Previously reported, the KPK named four suspects for alleged corruption in business cooperation (KSU) and the acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero).

They are former President Director of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero), Ira Puspadewi; former Director of Planning and Development, Harry MAC; and former Commercial and Service Director of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero), Muhammad Yusuf Hadi; and Adjie as the owner of PT Jembatan Nusantara.

Ira, Harry, and Yusuf Hadi have now been tried at the Jakarta Corruption Court. They were charged with causing state financial losses of Rp. 1,253,431,651,169 or Rp. 1.25 trillion.

Prosecutors said there were a number of modes of corruption carried out by the three, such as changing the board of directors' decree. Thus, the implementation of business cooperation between PT ASDP and PT Jembatan Nusantara is easy to implement.
