KAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has again named a new suspect in the alleged corruption case in the tin commodity trading system of the Mining Business Permit (IUP) PT Timah Tbk for the 2015-2022 period.

The Director of Investigation of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the AGO, Kuntadi, said that one person named as a suspect was Harvey Moeis, who was an extension of PT RBT.

It is known, Harvey Moeis is the husband of the artist, Sandra Dewi.

"The investigative team views that there is sufficient evidence so that we increase the status of the person concerned as a suspect, namely Suadara HM as a hand sanitizer from PT RBT," Kuntadi told reporters, Wednesday, March 27.

The determination of HM as a suspect was due to the role of accommodating illegal mining in the PT Timah Tbk area.

In accommodating the illegal mining, the suspect used to disguise it by renting tin-scattering processing equipment.

"That around 2018 to 2019 the suspect HM contacted the Main Directorate of PT Timah, namely MRPT in order to accommodate illegal mining activities in the PT Timah area," he said.

"After several meetings, it was finally agreed that the illegal aviation fuel activities were covered by rental activities to rent tin smelting processing equipment," continued Kuntadi.

Suspect Harvey Moeis also invited four other companies to be involved. The companies include PT SIP; CV VIF; PT SPS; and PT TIN.

After everything went on, the suspect asked the smelters to provide the benefits they had made.

The handover of the money also uses the mode of distributing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds through the company Helena Lim.

"The suspect HM asked the smelters to fill out some of their profits, handed over to the person concerned with the payment of CSR funds sent by these smelters to the person concerned through PT QSE facilitated by the suspect HLN," said Kuntadi.

For the purposes of the investigation process, Sandara Dewi's husband was immediately detained at the Salemba Rutan at the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office for the next 20 days.

In this case, Harvey Moeis is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph 1 and Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code
