JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned dozens of witnesses in the bribery case for the export permit of fries or lobster seeds, including the wife of the former Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Edhy Prabowo, Iis Rosyita Dewi.
This member of the DPR RI from the Gerindra Party faction was examined as a witness to complete her husband's case file.
"Iis Rosyita Dewi is being examined as a witness for the EP suspect (Edhy Prabowo)," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in a written statement, Friday, March 5.
Apart from Iis, there were also a number of other witnesses examined in this case, namely the Director of Fish Resources Management at the Directorate General of Capture Fisheries, Trian Yunanda; Amri who is the President Director of PT Aero Citra Kargo (ACK); and BCA operational legal staff Randy Bagas Prasetya.
Furthermore, investigators also summoned Rahmatullah civil servants, Mohammad Ridho who is a private employee, retired civil servant (PNS) Mohammad Sadik, Siti Maryam who is a student, money changer employee Bintang Valas Abadi Aisyah Paulina, notary Lies Herminingsih, PNS at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Rochmat Rofiq Fisheries, and Ade Mulyana Saleh who are entrepreneurs.
It is not certain what material will be asked of these dozens of people, however, those summoned are suspected of knowing about the bribery case of fries or lobster seeds that ensnared Edhy and a number of people in the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.
As previously reported, in the case of the export bribery of shrimp 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to the account of PT ACK, which is currently the sole cargo service provider for the export of lobster seeds, is then withdrawn to the accounts of PT ACK holders, namely Ahmad Bahtiar and Amri, for a total of Rp9.8 billion.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 on 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.
