jpnn.com, JAKARTA – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officially detained Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo in the case of alleged bribery related to the licensing of ponds, businesses and / or management of fisheries or other marine products similar in 2020.
KPK investigators are still investigating the alleged flow of funds to other parties, such as the parties or receipts from other companies in the case of the alleged receipt of bribes related to the lobster aquaculture business license.
“It is possible that further development will be added at a later stage,” KPK Vice President Nawawi Pomolango said at the KPK building in Jakarta on Thursday (11/26) morning.
In this case, the KPK named Edhy Prabowo as a suspect because he was suspected of accepting bribes from companies that obtained a license to export lobster seeds using a shipping company and were kept in an account of up to Rp9.8 billion.
“Whether there are 40 companies with a total of Rp9.8 billion or several companies, it cannot be concluded yet, but from the current examination stage it is concluded that the money came from several uninterrupted companies,” Nawawi added.
Corruption Eradication Commission Enforcement Deputy Karyoto at the press conference also said it would take time to explore the flow of funds to and from elsewhere.
“Because what we show tonight is just an entrance incident, there are several companies that exist. We (KPK researchers) list how many companies and from this company the flow is clear. We will deepen the coordination of PPATK to what extent, ”Karyoto said.
Karyoto also said that the KPK would summon both internal and other witnesses to reveal this case.
