TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission or KPK has officially named Dodi Martimbang, General Manager for Precious Metal Processing and Refining Business Unit at state-owned miner PT Aneka Tambang (Antam), as a suspect in the alleged corruption case of metal anode processing cooperation between Antam and PT Loco Montrado.

KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said Dodi would be detained for the next 20 days from January 17 until February 5, 2023.

“The suspect will be detained at the East Jakarta Metro Police Detention Center,” Alex said at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White Building, Jakarta, today, January 17, 2023.

He explained that Dodi as the policymaker replaced the previous company with PT Loco Montrado as a partner company in the metal anodes refining without urgent reasons.

“Suspect DM allegedly chose PT LM whose Director Siman Bahar to cooperate in refining metal anodes without reporting to the directors' board of PT AT Tbk in advance,” said Alex.

The deal then faced various problems in the mining process. For example, it was found that there was a shortage of gold returned by PT Loco Montrado to PT Antam based on Antam’s internal audit.

“As a result, BPK (the Supreme Audit Agency) calculated that it caused state financial losses of Rp100.7 billion,” Alex informed.

Dodi Martimbang is thus suspected of violating Article 2 (1) or Article 3 of Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the eradication of corruption as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 on the amendments to Law 31/1999 on the corruption eradication in conjunction with Article 55 (1) of the Criminal Code.
