JAKARTA - The President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) for the period 2019-2024 Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok admitted that he would give testimony as it was in the trial of the alleged corruption case in the management of crude oil and refinery products.

He admitted that he did not make any special preparations to give testimony. Ahok only brought a mobile phone containing a number of documents and materials related to the case that he stored in an online storage service.
"The phone itself was brought, it was on Google Drive," he said.
Ahok is scheduled to testify in the trial of the alleged corruption case in the management of crude oil and refinery products for the period 2018-2023. The case dragged nine defendants.
The nine defendants include the beneficial owner of PT Navigator Khatulistiwa Muhammad Kerry Adrianto Riza, Vice President of Feedstock Management of PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI) in 2023-2024 Agus Purwono, President Director of PT Pertamina International Shipping in 2022-2024 Yoki Firnandi, Commissioner of PT Pelayaran Mahameru Kencana Abadi Gading Ramadhan Juedo, and Commissioner of PT Jenggala Maritime Nusantara Dimas Werhaspati.

In this case, the defendants are suspected of committing or participating in unlawful acts by enriching themselves, others, or corporations to the detriment of the state up to Rp. 285.18 trillion.
The state's losses include a state financial loss of US$2.73 billion and Rp25.44 trillion, a state economic loss of Rp171.99 trillion, and illegal profits of US$2.62 billion.
In detail, the state's financial losses consist of US$5.74 billion in the procurement of imported refinery products or fuel and Rp2.54 trillion from the sale of non-subsidized solar during the period 2021-2023.
