The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has examined two witnesses related to the alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case in the oil palm plantation business activities of PT Duta Palma Group. Both are treasurer and financer of PT Duta Palma Nusantara.

"The examination of witness MP as the Expenditure Treasurer of PT Duta Palma Nusantara and NV as Finance for PT Duta Palma Nusantara," said Head of the AGO, Harli Siregar in his statement, Friday, October 25.

It was not conveyed detailing what investigators dug up from the two witnesses during the examination which took place on Thursday, October 25.

Harli only said that the series of examinations were the development of the previous case which had named Surya Darmadi as a convict.

The development was carried out because from the judicial decision new evidence was obtained regarding the alleged corruption committed by the Palma Group Ambassador.

"The witness examination was carried out to strengthen the evidence and complete the filing in the case," said Harli.

In this case, the AGO has also named a total of 7 corporations as suspects. They are PT Palma Satu; PT Banyu Bening Utama; PT Panca Agro Lestari; PT Kencana Amal Tani; PT Asset Pacific; and PT Darmex Plantations.
