Suara.com – Former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo, admitted that he had a debt when he bought many luxury items for his wife in Hawaii, United States.
Edhy Prabowo revealed that at the time he had borrowed a credit card from the Acting Director General for Capture Fisheries of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Muhammad Zaini Hanafi, to buy the luxury goods of his wife, Iis Rosita Dewi.
On a trip to the United States, Zaini was part of the group that joined Edhy and several officials from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Until finally, when he arrived in Indonesia, Edhy was arrested at Soekarno Hatta Airport, Cengakareng Tanggerang on suspicion of corruption in the lobster seed export license. Edhy was named a suspect in the KP Ministry lobster seed permit bribery case in 2020.
“So I borrowed it, he didn’t make me. I couldn’t use an ATM at the time. I borrowed a credit card, so what?” Edhy said in the lobby of the KPK White and Red House, Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Monday (2/22/2021).

Edhy also confirmed that he had not paid the money from Zaini’s credit card to date. The reason was that he was already in the KPK detention center. But, Edhy claims he will pay for it.
“I haven’t been billed yet and I’ll keep paying. I’m here how to pay, I can’t go out, I can’t call, how? I just heard from you,” Edhy said.
Previously, Zaini said that Edhy’s wife bought luxury items by borrowing a certain amount of money on her credit card.
This was revealed in a trial with the accused, the Director of PT. Dua Putera Perkasa Pratama (PT. DPPP) Suharjito at the Corruption Crimes Court (Tipikor), Central Jakarta, Wednesday (2/17/2021). Suharjito was one of the parties who gave bribes to Edhy
Regarding Iis purchases in the United States, in the form of Hermes Bags USD 2,600; Hermes perfume USD 300; a handkerchief and a brooch valued at USD 2,200; and Channel brand shoes for USD 9,100.

Upon hearing the testimony of the witness, the panel of judges questioned the luxury item purchased by Iis, whether the witness Zaini offered to lend a credit card or whether Edhy and Iis borrowed it.
“Borrow, sir. So I didn’t offer. So he borrowed,” Zaini replied.
The judge then again asked witness Zaini if he had been given the money back to buy various luxury items from Iis Rosita.
Zaini said that until now, Iis Rosita had not returned the money from her credit card.
“I haven’t done it yet. I want to get billed, but not yet sir. But I will. Because I borrowed it, sir. If not, it will be charged in the afterlife,” Zaini said.
Upon hearing Zaini’s response, the judge will confirm again by later presenting Iis in court to confirm the testimony of the witness Zaini.
“Later we will also ask Ms Iis for information, did you borrow or offer (credit card)?” Asked the panel of judges.
“Done,” Zaini replied.
