"We respect the determination of the status of the suspect and fully submit the legal process to the authorities," he said in an official statement received by VOI, Wednesday, May 10.

Arif said, the initiation of the audit of Dapen Pelindo came from management. This step is a proactive effort to eradicate acts of violation, including corruption within the company.

Arif added that the initiation of this audit aims to make dapen governance better, in line with SOE Minister Erick Thohir's program, which seriously reforms pension funds in SOEs.
