The Bandung District Attorney (Kejari) revealed that there was a flow of Pelicin funds to PT Migas Utama Jabar (MUJ) and its subsidiary PT Energi Negeri Mandiri (ENM) in the alleged corruption case in the procurement of goods and services involving them.

Kasipidsus Kejari Kota Bandung Ridha Nurul Ihsan revealed that Rizki Hermadhani (RH), who has now been detained along with three other suspects, namely Begin Troys, former President Director of PT MUJ, Nugroho Widyanto, Director of PT Serba Dinamik Indonesia (SDI) and Ruli Adi Prasetia, President Director of PT ENM 2020-2022 and Director of Engineering and Operations ENM 2022-2024.

Ridha explained that RH, who is the President Director of PT ENM for the 2022-2024 period, played a role in lobbying the leadership of PT SDI to illegally provide commitment fees to PT MUJ and PT ENM worth IDR 5 billion, related to the provision of goods and services between PT ENM and PT SDI in 2022-2023 for oil refinery projects in the Kalimantan and Riau regions.

"The suspect RH is suspected of being involved in the arrangement of a commitment fee in the form of an illegal flow of funds from PT SDI to PT ENM and PT MUJ with a nominal flow of funds of approximately up to around Rp. 5 billion," said Ridha i Bandung, Thursday, confiscated by Antara.

In addition to his role as a lobbyist, RH together with Begin Troys and Ruli Adi also played a role in signing a subcontractor agreement on July 18, 2022 without the knowledge of the main project owner, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), which is a subsidiary of PT Pertamina.

"The signing should have been made after RH officially served as President Director of ENM on July 27, 2022. But this is a step back," said Ridha.

Begin as Director of PT MUJ in this case played a role in issuing a letter that approved the cooperation between PT ENM and PT SDI.

However, this approval was judged without any careful business analysis studies and ignored the principles of good corporate governance because it was without mitigation.

In addition, in his capacity as President Director of ENM, RH is said to have not disbursed the implementation guarantee in the form of a giro account from PT SDI when the company failed to pay for the work that had been done by PT ENM until the company's financial loss was estimated at Rp86.29 billion.

In the case involving the four suspects, Nugroho as Director of PT SDI is suspected of having entered into a subcontractor agreement with PT ENM without the knowledge of the main contract owner.

Nugroho is also suspected of providing work to PT ENM, led by suspect Ruli, with a portion of more than 50 percent. This violates the provisions of the subcontractor agreement.

Ridha said that currently, a total of 25 witnesses have been examined in this case.

"We are still trying to recover state losses. We have confiscated a house and a plot of land," he said.

Currently, Rizki, Begin, Nugroho and Ruli have been entrusted to the Class I Detention Center of Kebon Waru Bandung for further investigation purposes in this case.
