JAKARTA - President Director of PT Nusa Halmahera Mineral Romo Nitiyudo Wachjo alias Haji Robert visited the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, Thursday, August 1.

He will be investigated for alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba.

The mine boss arrived at the anti-corruption commission office at around 09.57 WIB. There was no statement made by the businessman.

Meanwhile, KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika said there were five witnesses examined in this case. "The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building," he said.

Apart from Haji Robert, the witnesses summoned were Andi Muktiono (AM) who is a lecturer; a BUMN employee named Erni Yuniati (EY); Cecep Mochamad Yasin (CMY) who is the Coordinator of the Management of the Minerba Region of the Coordinating Directorate for the Development of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia; and Luthfan Harisan Jihadi (LHJ) who is the Mining Area Analyst of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Previously reported, the KPK opened the opportunity to forcibly pick up the President Director of PT Nusa Halmahera Mineral Romo Nitiyudo Wachjo alias Haji Robert because he was absent from the investigator's summons. He was summoned on Thursday, June 6 and Wednesday, July 3.

As for this case, the KPK named the inactive North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). He is suspected of washing up to Rp100 billion.

The determination of this suspect was carried out as the development of the alleged bribery of goods and services procurement projects as well as the granting of permits within the North Maluku Provincial Government. He has been detained along with five other suspects since December 20 after being caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT).

In addition, the KPK named Abdul Gani Kasuba's confidant, Muhaimin Syarif, who is the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra Party DPD as a suspect. He is suspected of bribing former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba in the amount of IDR 7 billion for the management of the Production Operation IUP to the proposed determination of the mining business permit (WIUP) area to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Then this gift is also related to projects within the North Maluku Provincial Government. The bribe was given by Muhaimin Syarif directly to Abdul Gani or through aides and through banking transactions.
