Alleged Flow Of Hajj Money Robert To Abdul Gani Kasuba Will Be Investigated By KPK

The Boss Of PT Nusa Halmahera Mineral, Father Nitiyudo Wachjo alias Haji Robert

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will trace the flow of funds from the boss of PT Nusa Halmahera Mineral, Father Nitiyudo Wachjo alias Haji Robert.

The KPK received information about the flow of money from Haji Robert to the former Governor of North Maluku (Malut), Abdul Gani Kasuba (AGK).

"Of course (investigated), Haji R at the trial was conveyed that there was a flow of funds from him to AGK's brother. This will be explored later, we will also wait for the report on the results of the trial from the prosecutor. That is our concern too," said KPK Investigation Director Asep Guntur when confirmed, Friday, October 4.

During the trial, it was revealed that there was a flow of funds amounting to Rp1 billion. The money flowed from Haji Robert to the account of Adjutant Abdul Gani Kasuba, Ramadhan Ibrahim.

Haji Robert was examined by the KPK as a witness for Abdul Gani's gratification and money laundering on Thursday, August 1, 2024. Investigators examined Haji Ribert at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Jakarta.

"For HR investigators, investigators are investigating the gratification and money laundering carried out by AGK," said KPK spokesman, Tessa Mahardika, some time ago.

Money from Haji Robert to AGK is suspected to be related to the processing of a Mining Business License (IUP) in the North Maluku region. Haji Robert's company guarantees one of the mining business suppliers in North Maluku.

In this case, the KPK has named Muhaimin Syarif as a new suspect. The former leader of Gerindra Malut is suspected of being a broker in the licensing process for mining companies in North Maluku, by bribing Abdul Gani Kasuba.

The KPK has pocketed the names of a number of companies suspected of bribing Abdul Ghani Kasuba. They gave money for a pelicin related to mining permits in North Maluku.
