JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to call the Financial Director of PT Adaro Wamco Prima, Edward Ennedy Rorong, again regarding the alleged bribery of the management of the tax restitution of PT Buana Karya Bhakti (PT BKB) at the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said that the re-summoning would be carried out for witnesses who did not meet the call, including Edward, a senior executive from a subsidiary of PT Adaro Energy Indonesia.
Edward was supposed to be examined as a witness on Wednesday, April 8. However, he did not meet the call at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
"Yes. Regarding the witnesses who have been scheduled but did not attend, of course, they will be confirmed, will be rescheduled according to the needs of the investigation of this case," Budi told reporters, Monday, April 20.
The KPK is known to be investigating other bribery receipts at the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP. This process is an expansion of the alleged bribery in the management of tax restitution of PT Buana Karya Bhakti (PT BKB) at the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP.
"Regarding taxes, this will also certainly be seen by investigators, yes, whether similar practices are also carried out for other taxpayers. This is still being investigated by investigators," said Budi.
As previously reported, the KPK named three suspects in the tax restitution bribery case at the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP after conducting a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Wednesday, February 4. They are Mulyono as Head of the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP; Fiskus who is a member of the Inspection Team from the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP, Dian Jaya Demega (DJD); and Financial Manager of PT Buana Karya Bhakti (BKB), Venasius Jenarus Genggor (VNZ) alias Venzo.
In this case, it is suspected that there has been an arrangement in the process of returning the Value Added Tax (VAT) of PT Buana Karya Bhakti at the KPP Madya Banjarmasin.
Initially, at the request of the tax restitution, PT Buana Karya Bhakti was examined and found to have overpaid Rp49.47 billion, with a fiscal correction of Rp1.14 billion, so that the tax restitution became Rp48.3 billion.
Mulyono asked for appreciation money from Venzo and agreed to give money worth Rp. 1.5 billion with the condition that the money would be shared so that the restitution of this palm oil company could be disbursed.
Then, Venzo met Mulyono at a restaurant to discuss the distribution of the appreciation money and agreed to the following distribution:
a. Mulyono sebesar Rp800 juta; b. Dian sebesar Rp200 juta; dan c. Venzo sebesar Rp500 juta.
Then, Venzo met Dian to give the agreed money of Rp. 200 million. However, Venzo asked for a 10 percent share or Rp. 20 million so that Dian received a net of Rp. 180 million.
Mulyono and Dian as the recipients are suspected of violating Articles 12 a and 12 b of Law Number 31 of 1999 and Article 606 paragraph (2) of Law Number 1 of 2026. Meanwhile, Venzo is suspected of violating Articles 605 and 606 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2026.
