SOE Minister Erick Thohir (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will explore the authority of SOE Minister Erick Thohir as the shareholder in the acquisition process of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) which led to allegations of corruption. This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika who said that the acquisition was allegedly experiencing a number of problems. Among them, assets belonging to PT Jembatan Nusantara, namely 53 ships that are old to 30 years old and ASDP also bear the debt of the private company amounting to Rp600 billion. "If it is related to the authority (Erick Thohir as the Minister of BUMN) I don't know the rules, yes, investigators who understand the extent to which other parties are involved," said Tessa to reporters quoted on Friday, August 23. Even so, the anti-corruption commission opens the opportunity to examine Erick Thohir. This step is certain if investigators find the relationship and evidence, continued Tessa. All parties whose statements are needed to classify the evidence will certainly be called up by investigators,''' firm spokesman with the investigator's background. Previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating the case of corruption of business cooperation (KSU) and Acquisition of PT Jembatan Nusantara by PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero). It is suspected that there has been a state loss that allegedly reached Rp1.27 trillion and is still changing because the calculation continues to be carried out. The source of VOI said that this loss arose because the acquisition process of PT Jembatan Nusantara did not comply with the rules. Reported from a number of reports, PT ASDP bought PT Jembatan Nusantara in February 2022 with a value reaching Rp1.3 trillion. This state plate company then controlled the shares of PT Jembatan Nusantara 100 percent with 53 managed vessels. The process (in carrying out the joint business and acquisition, red) has no legal basis," he said.
