JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not planned to issue a letter of termination of investigation (SP3) on the alleged corruption case of the procurement of 3 units of Quay Container Crane (QCC) at PT Pelindo II with the suspect, former President Director of PT Pelindo II, RJ Lino.

Deputy Chairman of the KPK Alexander Marwata said, based on Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the KPK, the anti-graft commission can stop investigations and prosecutions of cases where the investigation and prosecution have not been completed within a maximum period of 2 years.

However, this does not mean that his agency will stop handling the case that ensnared RJ Lino since the end of 2015 or more than five years ago.

"For SP3 there are indeed 2 years, but there it can be stopped. We have not come to the conclusion that it will stop", said Alex at the Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, March 2.

Furthermore, he explained that this case was constrained by the calculation of state financial losses. RJ Lino is known to have been charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law, one of which is detrimental to state finances.

The obstacle in calculating the state's financial losses was due to the HDHM, who was the project implementer, not wanting to submit the QCC price documents they sold to PT Pelindo II.

However, to get around this difficulty, the KPK asked the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to calculate the state's financial losses in this case and is just waiting for the results.

"Based on the results of the investigation, investigators are still waiting for information related to state losses. The BPK has already submitted the report. But they are still waiting for the calculation of higher education experts, technically how much is it", he concluded.
