JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned Commissioner of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Susi Meyrista Tarigan today, Friday, August 9. He was examined as a witness to alleged corruption in the business cooperation (KSU) process and the acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero). "The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building on behalf of SMT as Commissioner of PT ASDP," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters, Friday, August 9. It has not been detailed about Susi's summons by the KPK. However, a number of officials at the state-owned company have been summoned, such as the President Director of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero), Ira Puspadewi (IP) who have been prevented from leaving the country. In addition, the President Director of PT Jembatan Nusantara for the 2019-2022 period Youlman Jamal was questioned as a witness on Friday, August 2. At that time, the chronology of his company's acquisition by the state-owned company was asked by investigators. The KPK is currently investigating a corruption case 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.
