JAKARTA - Attorney General's Office investigators have again confiscated assets related to the IDR 78 trillion mega-corruption suspect Surya Darmadi. After the hotel in Bali, Surya Darmadi's helicopter was confiscated by the AGO.

The confiscation was carried out based on the Determination of the Pekanbaru District Court/Industrial Relations and Corruption Crime Number 98/Pen.Pid.Sus-TPK/2022/PN.Pbr dated 18 August 2022

"The seizure was carried out for the purpose of investigating money laundering cases with predicate crimes, namely corruption in oil palm plantation business activities carried out by PT Duta Palma Group in Indragiri Hulu on behalf of the suspect SD (Surya Darmadi)," said Sumedana.

Confiscate Hotels in Bali

Previously, the Investigation Team of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) of the Attorney General's Office confiscated two assets belonging to the suspect Surya Darmadi (70) in Badung Regency, Bali.

The Head of the Attorney General's Center for Legal Information, Ketut Sumedana, stated that the confiscation was based on the Denpasar District Court Decision Class IA Number: 5/Khusus/Pen.Pid.Sus-TPK/2022/PN Dps.

According to Sumedana, the two assets confiscated in Bali were a plot of land and a building and its contents in accordance with a building rights certificate (HGB) on behalf of PT Menara Perdana with a land area of 26,730 m2 located in Kuta Village, Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali.

On the land, there are two hotel buildings, namely the Holiday Inn Resort Bali Hotel and the Holiday Inn Express Bali Hotel.

In addition, another asset in the form of a plot of land with an area of 2,000 m2 is located in Kuta Village, Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali.

"The confiscation was carried out for the purpose of investigating money laundering cases with predicate crimes, namely corruption in the oil palm plantation business activities carried out by PT Duta Palma Group in Indragiri Hulu Regency on behalf of the suspect SD (Surya Darmadi)," Sumedana said.

Surya Darmadi is the boss of Duta Palma who is a suspect in a corruption case involving palm oil land grabs in Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau. The land that became the subject of the case was cultivated without permission by the Duta Palma Group, an oil palm plantation company owned by Apeng during 2003-2022 which caused state losses of IDR 78 trillion.

In addition to being a suspect in the seizure of palm oil land, the Attorney General's Office has also named Surya Darmadi as a suspect in a suspected money laundering case (TPPU).
