JAKARTA - The corruption case that ensnared the former President Director of PT Pelindo II, Richard Joost Lino or RJ Lino, has yet to go to court.

In fact, this case has been worked on by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for 5 years starting in December 2015. RJ Lino has the status of a suspect in the case of the procurement of three quay container crane (QCC) units.

For the KPK's performance, former Democrat Ferdinand Hutahaean criticized him. He even suggested that the KPK be dissolved.

"I think this is just nonsense from the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). 5 years why not do it?" emphasized Ferdinand through his personal twitter account, @ FerdinandHaean3 by retweeting the news 'KPK Unveils Constraints RJ Lino Has Not Visited Trial Despite 5 Years of Suspect.'

Ferdinand added, if the Corruption Eradication Commission was serious then this case should be resolved. The KPK is considered to be covering up the case so that it does not go to trial.

"If it is done, it will be finished. I suspect that the KPK is deliberately trying to close this case so that it does not go to trial. That is why I suggest that the KPK be dissolved," he said.

I think this is just nonsense from @KPK_RI, 5 years maybe it hasn't been done? If it's done, it's definitely finished. I suspect that the KPK deliberately wanted to close this case so that it would not be brought to trial. That is why I proposed that the KPK be disbanded. https://t.co/7WpFQ8LXWk

It is known that Richard Joost Lino was caught in a case of alleged corruption which was thought to have cost the state a fantastic amount of IDR 50.03 billion. This loss is based on BPKP's 2010 investigative audit report Number: LHAI-244 / D6.02 / 2011 on March 18, 2011.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not planned to issue a letter of termination of investigation (SP3) on the alleged corruption case in 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 has 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 is 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.
