Three defendants in the alleged corruption case in the business cooperation and acquisition process of PT Jembatan Nusantara PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry in 2019–2022 are suspected of causing state losses of IDR 1.25 trillion.
The three defendants in question are the President Director of PT ASDP for the 2017–2024 period Ira Puspadewi, the Commercial and Service Director of PT ASDP for the 2019–2024 period Muhammad Yusuf Hadi, and the Planning and Development Director of PT ASDP for the 2020–2024 period Harry Muhammad Adhi Caksono.
"The actions of the defendants together with Adjie were aimed at facilitating the implementation of the Joint Operation (KSO) between PT ASDP and PT JN, thereby enriching Adjie by Rp1.25 trillion as the beneficial owner of PT JN," said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) public prosecutor Wawan Yunarwanto in the indictment reading hearing at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Thursday.
For their actions, the three defendants are threatened with criminal penalties as regulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) point 1 of the Criminal Code.
The Public Prosecutor revealed that the case began with a joint venture scheme between PT ASDP and PT JN in 2019 which changed during the acquisition process of PT JN shares.
In order to facilitate the implementation of the KSU cooperation with PT JN, the defendants allegedly issued two board of directors' decisions, adding provisions for exceptions to the requirements for the KSU cooperation.
Then, Ira, Yusuf, and Harry were accused of entering into a KSU cooperation agreement for ship operations between PT ASDP and PT JN before the approval of the Board of Commissioners and not considering the risks of implementing the KSU with PT JN which were prepared by the Vice President of Risk Management and Quality Assurance .
After that, the Public Prosecutor stated that the three defendants also conveyed the substance of the permit for the implementation of the KSU with PT JN to the Board of Commissioners of PT ASDP, which was different from what was conveyed to the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises at that time.
"Meanwhile, in determining the options for the sale and purchase transaction scheme, the defendants also failed to consider the age of PT JN's vessels," said the public prosecutor.
Because they did not take the age of the ships into consideration, the defendants were said to have conditioned the assessment of 53 PT JN ships that had been carried out by the Muttaqin Bambang Purwanto Rozak Uswatun and colleagues Public Appraisal Services Office
