JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), again conducted an investigation on the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo, a suspect in the bribery case for the export of lobster seeds or fries.
During the questioning that was held on Thursday, January 21 yesterday, Edhy was examined as a witness for the suspect Amiril Mukminin.
"Edhy Prabowo, the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is being examined as a witness for the suspect AM, and his friends who have also been named as suspects in this case," said Acting KPK spokesman for prosecution Ali Fikri in his statement, Friday, January 22.
In this examination, he said that investigators were investigating the receipt of money that was thought to have come from exporters and was managed by Amiril Mukminin.
"Concerned with his knowledge related to the management of a number of money held by the suspect AM, the source of the money is thought to be from fry exporters," he said.
As previously reported, in the case of the export bribery of lobster fry or lobster seeds, Edhy Prabowo was named a suspect in receiving bribes along with five other people, namely: Stafsus Minister of KKP Safri (SAF) and Andreau Pribadi Misanta (APM); Management of PT Aero Citra Kargo (PT ACK) Siswadi (SWD); The staff of the wife of the Minister of KKP, Ainul Faqih, and Amiril Mukminin (AM).
Meanwhile, the giver of the bribe was the Director of PT Dua Putra Perkasa Pratama (PT DPPP) Suharjito (SJT).
Edhy was named a suspect because he was suspected of accepting bribes from companies that had been issued a lobster seed export license using a forwarder company and were kept in one account up to Rp9.8 billion.
The money that goes to the account of PT ACK, which is currently the sole cargo service provider for the export of lobster seeds, is then withdrawn to the accounts of PT ACK holders, namely Ahmad Bahtiar and Amri, for a total of Rp9.8 billion.
Furthermore, on November 5, 2020, Ahmad Bahtiar transferred Rp3.4 billion to the staff account of Edhy's wife, Ainul, which was earmarked for the needs of Edhy, his wife Iis Rosyati Dewi, Safri, and Andreau.
This money is used for shopping for luxury goods by Edhy and his wife in Honolulu, USA from November 21 to 23, 2020, amounting to around IDR 750 million, including Rolex watches, Tumi and LV bags, road bikes, and Old Navy clothes.
In addition, around May 2020, Edhy was also suspected of receiving 100 thousand US dollars from Suharjito through Safri and Amiril.
