JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained three suspects in the alleged corruption of the Sootblowing system for the PLTU Bukit Asam Plantation Unit of PT PLN (Persero). One of the official orange trends is Bambang Anggono, who serves as a general manager.

"The suspects are then detained for the first 20 days," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, July 9.

Apart from Bambang, Alexander mentioned two other suspects. They are the Engineering Manager of PT PLN, the Southern Sumatra Generation Main Unit, Budi Widi Asmoro and Badminton Indrajaya who are Directors of PT Truba Engineering Indonesia.

The technical specifications of the product and offering price that will be used as the basis for procurement by PT PLN UIK SBS are then prepared by fire at a price of Rp52 billion.

The suspects also engineered the auction which was won by their owner at a price of Rp. 74.9 billion. The victory then led to the giving of money from fire to 12 PLN UIK SBS officials and employees.

"BWA (Budi Widi Asmoro) received at least Rp. 750 million, besides that there was Rp. 6 billion in cash that had been deposited into the KPK case holding account for receiving BWA Gratification from 2015 to 2018 while serving as senior engineering manager of PLN UIK SBS," explained Alexander.
