JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the opportunity to forcibly pick up the President Commissioner of PT Mineral Trobos, David Glen Oei. This option is open because he has been absent twice as a witness to the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) that ensnared former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba.

"It is being considered (forced pick-up for questioning, ed)," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters in a written statement, Monday, September 9.

David was supposed to be questioned on Tuesday, August 27. However, he was not present for reasons of illness at the time.

In fact, his statement was needed to investigate the alleged money laundering committed by Abdul Gani. "(The DGO witness, ed) has been rescheduled but is not present," said Tessa.

Previously reported, the KPK named the inactive North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). He is suspected of washing up to Rp100 billion.

The determination of this suspect was carried out as the development of the alleged bribery of goods and services procurement projects as well as the granting of permits within the North Maluku Provincial Government. He has been detained along with five other suspects since December 20 after being caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT).

In addition, the KPK named Abdul Gani Kasuba's confidant, Muhaimin Syarif, who is the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra Party DPD as a suspect. He is suspected of bribing former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba in the amount of IDR 7 billion for the management of the Production Operation IUP to the proposed determination of the mining business permit (WIUP) area to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Then this gift is also related to projects within the North Maluku Provincial Government. The bribe was given by Muhaimin Syarif directly to Abdul Gani or through aides and through banking transactions.
