MEDAN - PT Tona Morawa Prima (PT TMP) confirmed that it had reported its employee with the initials MPR to the Deli Serdang Police on suspicion of embezzlement of company funds worth Rp485.3 million. The report was made after an internal audit found that customer funds had not been entered into the company's treasury for the past three years.

PT TMP's attorney, Sefri Ardi Tanjung, stated that the company was cooperative and waited for the summons of investigators from the Sub-Directorate I/Kamneg Ditreskrimum of the North Sumatra Police. He also assessed that a number of MPR statements in the media did not match the company's official documents.

The findings of the audit in October 2025 revealed that there were unregistered customer payments. The MPR is said to have been summoned to provide clarification and admit his actions. He also signed a statement accompanied by a commitment to return funds no later than October 3, 2025, and is willing to be prosecuted if the obligation is not fulfilled. However, until the deadline there is no repayment," Sefri said in his statement in Medan, Friday, November 28.

After that, the MPR made a return report to the North Sumatra Regional Police on charges of embezzlement of a Calya car by the management of PT TMP. The company denied the allegations and stated that the car was given by the MPR as collateral. "The car will be returned after all obligations are completed," said Sefri.

PT TMP ensures that the MPR is still an active employee, even though it was not present when summoned to account for outstanding. An MPR colleague named Sugianto who previously made the report had actually revoked his power of attorney, admitted his mistakes, and returned the money to the company.

The company also denied the MPR's claim that the payment had been made through someone named Ria Syafitri who he called the financial admin of PT TMP. The company's data states that this is not true.

The case began when the MPR on October 17, 2025 accused the manager of PT TMP Sun alias Asiong, Dav alias Acien, Suw, and TBT of embezzling their cars. MPR, who has worked as a marketing company since 2010, was previously accused of embezzling company money of Rp. 173 million on September 30, 2025. He was asked to replace the funds in three days and submit ID cards and cars as collateral.

On November 3, 2025, the MPR claimed to have paid off funds through Ria Syafitri in front of Dav. However, the car was not returned on the grounds of waiting for Sun's decision. The MPR summons was not responded to until he reported to the SPKT Polda on suspicion of car embezzlement with a loss of Rp. 200 million.
