JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators confiscated documents related to the Bank Guarantee and one car unit in the case of bribery for the export license of shrimp fries or lobster seeds.

This was done after the anti-gas commission conducted an examination of three witnesses, including two officials from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP).

There were also two officials examined, namely the Head of the Center for Fish Quarantine, Quality Control and Safety of Fisheries Products Jakarta I (Soekarno-Hatta) for the period 2017 Habrin Yake and the Head of the Fish Quarantine Agency for Quality Control and Safety of Fishery Products at Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Rina.

"Each of those concerned has confiscated various documents, including those related to a Bank Guarantee of Rp. 52.3 billion, allegedly from exporters who obtained the export license for clear lobster seeds at the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in 2020," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in a written statement, Monday, March 22.

Meanwhile, the confiscation of a car belonging to Edhy Prabowo's special staff, Andreau Misanta Pribadi was carried out after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted an examination of a lawyer named Robinson Paul Tarru.

The KPK actually summoned two other witnesses including former spokesman Edhy Prabowo when he was still a minister, namely Miftah Nur Sabri and Setiawan Sudrajat who were private parties. It's just that, both of them were absent and will be rescheduled.

"Setiawan Sudrajat did not attend and confirmed to be rescheduled while Miftah Nur Sabri could not attend because there were activities abroad," he said.

As previously reported, Edhy Prabowo was named a suspect in receiving bribes along with five other people, namely: Special Staff of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (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 Marine Affairs and Fisheries (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 Rp. 9.8 billion.

From this money, Edhy then received Rp. 3.4 billion which was earmarked for his and his wife's needs, Iis Rosyita Dewi, and two of his staffs, Safri and Andreau Misanta Pribadi.

In addition, around May 2020, Edhy was also suspected of receiving 100 thousand US dollars from Suharjito through Safri and Amiril.

Furthermore, 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 Louis Vuitton bags, road bikes, and Old Navy clothes.
