The East Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) confiscated IDR 47.28 billion in cash and 421,046 foreign currencies in the investigation of alleged corruption crimes committed by PT Delta Artha Bahari Nusantara (PT DABN) from 2017 to 2025.

Head of the East Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) Agus Sahat said the corruption case was related to the management of port service activities at Tanjung Tembaga Port, Probolinggo.

"The total confiscation reached Rp47,286120,399 and 421,046 US dollars. We have secured all these assets in the context of investigation and are waiting for the results of the calculation of state losses from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP)," Agus said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 9.

Agus explained that the money was obtained from the East Java Prosecutor's Office's efforts to block and confiscate 13 banking accounts belonging to PT DABN spread across five national banks.

The five banks are located in PT DABN amounting to Rp33,968,120,399.31 and 8,046.95 US dollars, six deposits at BRI and Bank Jatim worth Rp13.3 billion and 413,000 US dollars.

In the investigation process, investigators have examined 25 witnesses, including officials from the East Java Provincial Government, supervision of Regional Owned Enterprises (BUMD), and private parties.

In addition, two expert criminal law and state finances were also questioned, including the East Java Provincial Government officials in charge of BUMD in the East Java Provincial Government Economy.

The East Java Prosecutor's Office is still waiting for the official results of calculating state financial losses from BPKP as the basis for determining the suspect.
