The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has denied that the narrative of the loss of corruption cases related to PT Antam handled by the institution is IDR 5.9 quadrillion.
The rebuttal was in response to a post on social media which stated that state losses due to cases related to PT Antam reached the nominal.
"We have never conveyed a state loss of that magnitude in handling cases in Antam," said Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, March 11.
In addition to accusations of state losses, he said, there were also uploads on social media that narrated the existence of 109 tons of counterfeit gold circulating.
Regarding the news, the AGO had previously stated allegations that the existence of counterfeit gold related to the case of 109 tons of gold or metal starting (LM) with the stamp or stamp (licensing) of PT Antam was not fake gold.
"It's just that the gold that is traded is illegal gold because it is obtained from illegal results," said Kapuspenkum.
In terms of regulations, the gold that will be pasted must be verified first. However, in this case of 109 tons, the illegal gold mixes with legal gold so that it affects the supply from Antam and there is an excess in the market and affects prices at that time so that the price of gold drops.
"Thus, 109 tons of gold in this case is real gold," he asserted.
