DOK ANTARA / RJ Lino

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has postponed the investigation of former President Director of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) II, Richard Joost Lino or RJ Lino. RJ Lino was previously scheduled to be investigated as a suspect in the corruption case in the procurement of three units of Quay Container Crane (QCC) by PT Pelindo II.

The reason investigators postponed the investigation of RJ Lino was because he had not appointed a legal advisor to accompany him.

"Because the legal advisor (PH) is not ready, the investigation is postponed," said Acting KPK spokesman for the field of prosecution Ali Fikri in a written statement, Monday, March 29.

Based on information received by the KPK, RJ Lino will immediately appoint his legal adviser. That way the inspection will be carried out immediately.

"RJ Lino will immediately appoint PH who will accompany him during the examination as a suspect," said Ali.

Previously reported, the KPK is trying to finish filing the RJ Lino case. Moreover, the investigation of this case has stalled for five years.

In this case, RJ Lino was named a suspect since December 2015. However, the detention was only carried out five years later or on Friday, March 26 yesterday.

He is suspected of directing the appointment of a company from China, namely HuaDong Heavy Machinery (HDHM) in the procurement of three QCC units at PT Pelindo II.

For his actions, RJ Lino is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) and / or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of the Criminal Code.
