JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the price of a ship owned by PT Jembatan Nusantara through a witness today, Thursday, August 8. This process is related to the investigation of alleged corruption in the business cooperation system (SKU) and the acquisition of the private company by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero). The witness examined was Budi Prakoso (BP) as the Head of SBU Marine and Offshore Oil and Gas of PT Bureau of Classification Indonesia (Persero). Based on information compiled by this state-owned company, it is engaged in the surveyor sector. "“Confirmation of witness investigators is present. Investigators are investigating the price of the ship,” said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, August 8. Tessa said the BP examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. Requests for information have been completed. Previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating cases of corruption in business cooperation (KSU) and the acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero). It is suspected that there has been a state loss which allegedly reached Rp1.27 trillion and is still changing because the calculation continues. A VOI source said this loss arose because the acquisition process for PT Jembatan Nusantara did not comply with the regulations. Reporting from a number of reports, PT ASDP purchased PT Jembatan Nusantara in February 2022 with a value of IDR 1.3 trillion. This state-owned company then controlled 100 percent of PT Jembatan Nusantara shares with 53 managed vessels. “ The process (in carrying out business cooperation and acquisition, red) has no legal basis,” he said.

“So violated all acquisition rules,” still quoted from the same source. In this case, the anti-corruption commission has also asked the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Law (Kemenkumham) to prevent four people from leaving the country. The details, namely HMAC, MYH, IP, and one other party is the private sector, A.
