ILLUSTRATION BETWEEN

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not yet named a suspect in connection with allegations of corruption related to crude oil and refinery products trading at PT Pertamina Energy Service Pte. Ltd (Petral) as the subsidiary company of PT Pertamina (Persero).

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the investigation into the alleged state loss used a general investigation warrant (sprindik). This means that no suspects in the regulation were issued last October.

"In this new case, no suspect has been named, (investigation based on, red) public sprindik," Budi told reporters, Monday, November 3.

In addition, Budi said the calculation of state losses was ongoing. "Still on progress," he said.

The new sprindik was published after investigators investigated allegations of bribery in the procurement of catalysts at PT Pertamina (Persero) and bribes for the procurement of crude oil and finished products for the 2012-2014 period.

The articles used in this regulation are Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

In the process, a number of parties have been questioned. Investigators have also studied a number of documents in this case.
