JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned former Director of Processing of PT Pertamina (Persero) Chrisna Damayanto (CD), who is the last suspect who has not been detained in connection with the alleged bribery case in the procurement of catalysts at Pertamina in the 2012-2014 fiscal year.

"Examination on behalf of CD as Director of Pertamina Processing in 2012-2014," said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, December 29.

Budi said the KPK planned to summon Chrisna Damayanto for questioning at the KPK's Red and White building in Jakarta.

Previously, on November 6, 2023, the KPK announced an investigation into alleged corruption in the form of gratification related to the catalytic procurement tender at Pertamina, and has not been able to announce the identities of the suspects.

However, the KPK said the initial evidence of the case amounted to tens of billions of rupiah.

The KPK on July 17, 2025, announced the appointment of four suspects in the case.

The determination was made after the KPK searched the house of Chrisna Damayanto (CD) and his son, Alvin Pradipta Adiyota (APA) on July 8, 2025, as well as the house of the Director of PT Melanton Pratama Gunardi Wantjik (GW) and the Operations Manager of PT Melanton Pratama Frederick Aldo Gunardi (FAG) on July 15, 2025.

On September 9, 2025, the KPK detained Alvin Pradipta, Gunardi Wantjik, and Frederick Gunardi. Chrisna Damayanto has not been detained for health reasons.
