DOK BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the flow of money related to the production of one metric ton of coal in the case that ensnared the former Regent of Kutai Kartanegara (Kukar) Rita Widyasari.

This material was investigated by the KPK when it examined the President of Borneo FC Samarinda as well as Member of Commission III of the DPR Nabil Husein Said Amin as a witness today. He underwent an examination at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"Investigators are tracing the flow of money from the receipt," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo in his statement, Tuesday, June 23.

The investigator, continued Budi, also investigated the testimony of witnesses regarding the management of coal and the receipt of a certain amount of money made by Rita Widyasari per production of metric tons of coal.

"Investigators are investigating the knowledge of witnesses related to coal management and the alleged receipt per metric ton of production by the suspect," he said.

The matter of the money flow was also investigated by investigators from five suspects. They are Sukotjo as Head of BPKAD Kab Kukar; H. Sunggono as Secretary of State Kab Kukar; H. Mohd Said Amin as a Businessman; Aulia Wirahman as ASN BPKAD Kab Kukar; and Cici Andini Balfas as ASN ESDM Service Prov Kaltim.

As previously reported, the KPK continues to investigate corruption allegations related to coal exports that ensnared Rita Widyasari as the former Regent of Kutai Kartanegara. In fact, non-tax state revenues (PNBP) continue to be scrutinized.

It is suspected that there was a receipt of metric tons of money made by Rita in each coal mine exploration process. This investigation was carried out by the KPK as a gateway to investigate alleged money laundering (TPPU).

The KPK then named three corporate suspects in this case. These companies are PT Sinar Kumala Naga, PT Alamjaya Barapratama, and PT Bara Kumala Sakti which are coal companies.

The determination of the corporate suspect was based on an investigation order (sprindik) issued in February. The three companies are suspected of being tools for Rita Widyasari to receive corruption results.
