JAKARTA - The former special staff of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Safri, said that the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) received a share of IDR 1,500 per lobster seed exported.

"In the Investigation Official Report (BAP), you said, 'I don't know about the export cargo service of BBL (Clear Lobster Seed) but I know from Andreau that the export cost is Rp1,800 per head based on the KKP agreement with the' forwarder 'company, namely PT ACK, where KKP gets IDR 1,500 per head and PT ACK gets IDR 300 per head ', is this information correct? " asked KPK prosecutor Siswhandono at the Jakarta Corruption Court, reported by Antara, Wednesday, February 24.

"I don't remember, but if my BAP statement remains," Safri replied.

Safri conveyed this through a "video conference" line when he was a witness for the accused, the Director of PT. Dua Putera Perkasa Pratama (PT. DPPP) Suharjito who was charged with giving bribes worth a total of IDR 2.146 billion consisting of 103 thousand US dollars (around IDR 1.44 billion) and IDR 706,055,440 to former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo.

When the prosecutor asked why it was stated that the KKP got Rp1,500 and who actually received it, Safri admitted that he did not remember because he only got the information from Andreau (special staff of former KKP Minister Edhy Prabowo who is also the head of the due diligence team for the BBL export permit).

"I know these parts from Andreau and he did not explain but the agreement that the exporter had agreed to use PT AC," added Safri.

The indictment states that Edhy Prabowo bought the flag of the company PT. Aero Citra Kargo (ACK) owned by Siswadhi Pranoto Loe through Amiril Mukminin as the Personal Secretary of Edhy Prabowo.

Amiril Mukminin then changed the company deed by including the names of Nursan and Amri who were close friends and representations of Edhy Prabowo in the PT ACK structure.

PT ACK then collaborated with PT Perishable Logistics Indonesia (PLI). PT. PLI sets the operational cost for the delivery of IDR 350 per head of BBL and PT. The ACK charges a fee of Rp1,450 per head of BBL so that the total cost for exporting BBL is Rp1,800 per head of BBL.

The fee was received by PT. ACK and divided as if in the form of dividends to shareholders according to the percentage of share ownership, namely Nursan 41.65 percent, Amri 40.65 percent and Yudi Surya Atmaja 16.7 percent and PT. Detrans Interkargo as much as 1 percent.

Nursan then died so his name was changed by Achmad Bachtiar who was also the representative of Edhy Prabowo.

PT ACK's Finance Department named Nini in the July-November 2020 period distributed money received by other BBL exporting companies to PT ACK shareholders as if it were dividends, namely to Achmad Bachtian worth IDR 12.312 billion; to Amri worth IDR 12,312 billion and Yudi Surya Atmaja IDR 5,047 billion.

The money from the operational costs was then managed by Amiril Mukminin with the knowledge of Edhy Prabowo and used to buy a number of items at Edhy Prabowo's request.
