JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the former President Director of PT Sigma Cipta Caraka or Telkomsigma in 2014-2018, Iscriono Windiarjanto today, July 29. He was summoned for questioning regarding the alleged corruption of the PT Pertamina (Persero) public gas station digitization project along with four other witnesses.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters, Tuesday, July 29.

Apart from Iscriono, the four witnesses who were also asked to attend were Surya Fachrudinsyah as VP Finance of PT PINS for the 2015-2019 period and Senior Advisor of EBIS Telkom for the 2020-2022 period; Hendriyanto as President Director of PT Sempuma Global Pertama; Raden Juwita Suhesti as Director of PT Pacific Cipta Solusi for the 2018-present period; and Dicky Maturama who is the Operational Manager of PT PCS for the 2019-2022 period.

Budi has not yet detailed the material that investigators will investigate from the five. However, they were questioned as witnesses to the alleged corruption of the Pertamina gas station digitization project.

"The KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses suspected of corruption related to the PT Pertamina (Persero) gas station digitization project for the 2018-2023 period," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK is again investigating allegations of corruption at PT Pertamina (Persero). This time, the connection with the digitization project of public refueling stations (SPBU) allegedly occurred in 2019-2023.

To investigate this case, the anti-corruption commission has issued an investigation warrant (sprindik) in September 2024. Three suspects have been named but have not been officially announced.

As for the information gathered, the three suspects are DR and W from PT Telkom and E as Director of PT Pacific Cipta Solusi.

Acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu said this case ensnared PT Telkom because they were working on a digitization project. In the process, it is suspected that there was too much to pay, causing state losses which are still being calculated.

"Well, that's why most of the suspects here (suspects, ed) are from PT Telkom. This is the executor. The first one (Pertamina, ed) is the owner of the program," Asep told reporters quoted on Friday, July 25.

This digitization process is called when Pertamina enforces a policy of using quick response (QR) codes for customers who buy subsidized fuel. "This takes it from the calculation of how much was issued," he explained.
