"The witness who is examined today is S as a public accountant in Purwantoro, Suherman, and Surya Public Accountant Office," said Chief of Public Information of the Attorney General's Office Leonard Eben Ezer Simanjuntak on Monday, December 21, 2020.
Leonard said that the examination was conducted to find legal facts and collect evidence concerning crime that occurred during the process of cooperation extension for port operational and management activities with PT Pelindo II and JICT.
Previously, the Special Crime Investigator Attorney had examined three witnesses in the suspected corruption case.
The witnesses examined were former 2016 Tanjung Priok Port Authority Chief Bah Mokhamad Hassani, Senior Legal Manager of PT Hutchison Seto Baskoro, and PT BMT Asia Pacific Indonesia Consultant Johny Tjea.
Former Director of PT Pelindo II RJ Lino has been examined twice to confirm the results of a search conducted in the past.
