DKI Attorney General's Office Examines 7 Witnesses In The Alleged Corruption Case Of PT PGAS Solution, Including Officials Of The State-Owned Enterprises Subsidiary PT PGN

JAKARTA - Investigators from the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) are investigating a case of alleged corruption in the payment for procurement and rental of geothermal wells at PT PGAS Solution. A total of seven people were examined as witnesses related to the corruption case.

Special Crime Assistant (Aspidsus) for the DKI Jakarta Prosecutor's Office, Nurcahyo JM, said that those being investigated included a number of former officials of the state-owned subsidiary PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN).

"Yes, that's right. This examination is a deepening of the previous examination of alleged corruption at PT PGAS Solution for payment for procurement and rental of geothermal wells which allegedly caused state financial losses amounting to IDR 31.7 billion," said Nurcahyo in his statement, Thursday, October 6.

The seven people examined were CD as the President Director of PT PGAS Solution in 2018, YT as the Technical Director of PT PGAS Solution in 2018, TY as the Finance Director of PT PGAS Solution in 2018.

Furthermore, RZ as Project Manager and Construction of PT PGAS Solution in 2018, YK as President Director of PT Taruna Aji Kharisma, DAS as Operational Director of PT Taruna Aji Kharisma, and AM as President Director of PT Adhidaya Nusaprima Teknindo.

The initials and positions of those examined by the Jakarta Attorney General's Office were based on the Investigation Order of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Prosecutor's Office No PRINT-1332/M.1/Fd.1/05/2022 dated 23 May 2022.

Previously, PT PGAS Solution obtained the job of buying and renting heavy equipment to prevent wild eruptions for the needs of making geothermal wells in Sabang, Aceh, in the form of a blowout preventer from PT Taruna Aji Kharisma.

To carry out the work, PT PGAS Solution issued a purchase order (order) to PT Adhidaya Nusaprima Teknindo with a value of IDR 22,022,784,300.

Meanwhile, for equipment rental work, it is IDR 9,702,000,000, so the total work is IDR 31,724,784,300.

Furthermore, PT PGAS Solution has made a payment to PT Adhidaya Nusaprima Teknindo as much as IDR 31,724,784,300, then the amount of the payment by PT Adhidaya Nusaprima Teknindo was handed over to PT Taruna Aji Kharisma.

In practice, PT Adhidaya Nusaprima Teknindo never handed over the equipment for making geothermal wells and never handed over the equipment that had been rented to PT PGAS Solution.

However, PT PGAS Solution seems to have received the handover of the geothermal well construction equipment and the rental of the equipment from PT Adhidaya Nusaprima Teknindo and an official report on the handover of goods or a fictitious transaction was made.
