JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif denied receiving a leaked document from Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri regarding the alleged corruption case of performance allowances (tukin) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
"There is no such thing, there are no leaks. How was the leak? It's been answered many times," said Arifin Tasrief at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Friday, April 28, which was confiscated by Antara.
Allegations of the issue related to leaked information were revealed after a voice recording emerged regarding the leaking of documents investigating corruption cases at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources spread across cyberspace.
The alleged leak of the document occurred when the KPK investigating team conducted a search at the Daily Executive Office of the Director General (Plh Dirjen) Mineral and Coal (Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Idris Froyoto Sihle at the Secretariat General Building of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources on March 27, 2023.
"We are waiting for the case to follow up on the legal process," said Arifin.

The KPK has also explained the issue of the leaking of an investigation warrant or a sprinlidik in the Tukin corruption case at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
"The Tukin case is actually an open investigation. So, for example, I issued an open investigation letter, something happened, I told you; what was the leak? Then what impact did it have on the leakage of the investigation letter? Nothing at all," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata.
Alex said the alleged corruption case against the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources was an incident that had occurred. He confirmed that the leak of the investigation warrant would not affect the legal process of the alleged corruption case.
"Sprinlidik leaks, think that's all, it's an investigation for events that have passed, what impact? If I see there is no impact for events that have passed," he said.
The KPK is currently investigating the alleged corruption case of Tukin for the 2020-2022 fiscal year at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and has named 10 suspects in the alleged corruption case. The potential loss incurred in the alleged corruption case is estimated at tens of billions of rupiah.
Idris Froyoto Sihite has also provided information at the KPK regarding the case.
