For investigation purposes, three suspects were immediately detained by the Attorney General, namely FL AS and SW. Meanwhile, the other two have not been detained due to illness.
Kuntadi revealed the roles of each of the five suspects. It started with the suspect SW in 2015 issuing Approval of Budget and Cost Work Plans (RKAB) for five tin smelter companies. SW served as Head of the Babel Province ESDM Service from 2015-2019.
“The suspect deliberately ordered and approved the RKAB for 5 tin refining and processing companies (smelters) illegally, because the RKAB issued did not meet the requirements, namely PT RBT, PT SBS, PT SIP, PT TIN, and CV VIP located in Babel, ” he explained, Saturday (27/4/2024).
Then, in the era of BN and AS leadership as Acting Head of the ESDM Service, the issuance of the RKAB continued. Even though the three of them already knew that this RKAB was not being used as it should, namely to legalize tin trading activities obtained illegally from PT Timah’s IUP.
“Suspects SW, BN, AS knew that the RKAB was not used for mining at the IUP location of the smelter company itself, but only to legalize the sale of tin obtained illegally from the IUP of PT Timah Tbk,” he stressed.
Furthermore, continued Kuntadi, this illegal activity was approved and covered up by suspect MRPT and suspect EE with an agreement as if there was cooperation in renting tin smelting processing equipment under the pretext of meeting the needs of PT Timah Tbk. Meanwhile, HL and FL’s role is to participate in equipment rental collaboration.
“Suspect HL as the Beneficiary Owner and suspect FL as PT TIN’s marketing officer have participated in a collaboration for renting tin smelting processing equipment with PT Timah Tbk, apart from that, the two of them also formed CV BPR and CV SMS as dummy companies to carry out their illegal activities,” he said.
As a result of their actions, the five of them were suspected of violating the provisions of Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of the Law in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
