JAKARTA - The AGO together with the Ministry of SOEs will soon close asset management on five tin smelters confiscated by investigators in the Province of the Bangka Belitung Islands (Babel).

"We will immediately coordinate and close the confiscated assets to the Ministry of SOEs," said Head of the AGO's Asset Recovery Agency Amir Yanto after a closed meeting discussing the management of five confiscated smelters in Pangkalpinang, East Kalimantan, Tuesday, April 23, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said, in managing assets in these five confiscated smelters, the AGO not only coordinated with the Ministry of SOEs but also with the Indonesian Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

"We will also close together with BPKP, because this involves a lot, whether it involves smelters, managers and others," he said.

He stated that there are also many aspects of corruption in tin trading, both juridical, financial and other aspects.

"Hopefully the procedure for managing confiscated smelter assets will be completed quickly. Do not harm the working community in this business," he said.

According to him, in today's cross-agency meetings, the management of assets in the five confiscated tin smelters is focused. Do not let these assets become scrap metal and reduce this value.

"The operation of this smelter will be later, whether to take IUP raw materials from companies that were confiscated by themselves or from other legal company IUP-IUPs," he said.

At this cross-field coordination meeting, the follow-up to the confiscation of five tin smelters was attended by the Deputy for Law at the Ministry of SOEs, the President Director of PT Timah Tbk, BPKP, the Director of Investigation at the National Police Headquarters.

In addition, the closed coordination meeting related to the confiscation of the smelter was also attended by the Acting Governor of the Bangka Belitung Islands, the Head of the Babel Islands Police, Dandrem O45, Danlanal, Danlanud and the Babel Islands Forkopimda.
