"The image is CV or PT?" asked the judge.

"I don't know CV partners or PT Mulia, but there is a SPK from PT Timah," said Agung.

"The SPK is with CV or PT between PT Timah? Or I ask again, do you know the companies under RBT? I don't say affiliates, formed by RBT to buy tin ore from miners?" said the judge.

"There is Your Majesty, in my BAP (examination report)," answered Agung.

"CV Bangka Karya Mandiri, CV Semar Jaya Perkasa, CV Belitung Makmur Sejahtera, Your Majesty," answered Agung.

"How much is there?" asked the judge.

"Three, Your Majesty," replied Agung.
