The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has again named the Director of PT Eldin Citra, with the initials LGH as a suspect in the investigation into alleged corruption in bonded zone facilities at Tanjung Priok and Tanjung Emas Ports 2015-2021, Friday (8/4/2022). The Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) has named four suspects in the case. The Head of the Information and Legal Center (Kapuspenkum) at the Attorney General's Office, Ketut Sumedana, said that LGH was named a suspect on Thursday (7/4/2022) at midnight.

The legal status was pinned because initially, LGH as a private party was scheduled to be questioned as a witness. However, LGH went missing without explanation. Ketut said the Jampidsus investigation team had conducted a search for him in Jakarta.

However, said Ketut, according to investigation information, it was stated that LGH had fled outside Jakarta. "The team of investigators managed to find LGH, and arrested the person concerned in Bandung," said Ketut, in a press release received by journalists in Jakarta, Friday (8/4/2022).

After the arrest, said Ketut, on Thursday (7/4/2022), the team of investigators immediately took him to the Jampidsus Building. LGH was then detained at the Salemba Rutan, a branch of the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office (Kejari)

Before naming LGH as a suspect, on the same day, the investigation team at Jampidsus, had taken three local customs and excise officials to a detention cell at the Salemba Rutan, the Attorney General's Office branch. They include MRP, IP, and H. The three suspects are officials at the Office of Supervision and Customs Service (KPPBC) Semarang, Central Java (Central Java).

MRP was named a suspect as the Head of the Investigation and Investigation Section of the Semarang Customs and Excise Service and Supervision Office (KPPBC). MRP, also known as the Customs and Excise PPNS investigator. Meanwhile, IP has been named the suspect as the Head of KPPBC Semarang. H, named the suspect as the Head of the Intelligence Section of the Central Java Customs and Excise Office (Kanwil).

"The three of them, MRP, IP, and H, have been named suspects in a corruption case against the misuse of bonded zone facilities at the Tanjung Emas Port for the period 2016-2017," said Ketut.

Ketut refused to reveal the full identities of the suspects. However, he said, from the results of the investigation at Jampidsus, it was explained that the suspect IP, as Head of KPPBC Semarang, together with MRP, as Head of the Investigation and Investigation Section of KPPBC Semarang, as well as PPNS investigators, both committed corruption crimes together. Namely in the form of securing import activities, and managing documents, as well as subcontracting and releasing goods from the PT Hyoupseung Garment Indonesia (HGI) bonded area.

Meanwhile, suspect H, as the Head of Intelligence Section of the Central Java Customs and Excise Office, received cash from PT HGI. "The money was handed over at Padang Golf Temple Semarang worth Rp 2 billion," said Ketut.

Meanwhile, the role of the suspect, LGH, in this case is believed to be an intermediary to a number of textile companies in China. LGH is also said to have received orders for textile raw materials from a number of domestic parties to be imported. In managing the import of textile raw materials, the suspect LGH used the PT HGI bonded area. In this utilization, LGH gets exemption from import duty and other taxes.

“The suspect LGH imported textile raw materials from Tanjung Emas Port and 180 containers from Tanjung Priok from China. The imported textile raw materials enter the PT HGI bonded area, and are not exported, but together with Semarang customs and excise officials (suspects IP and MRP) they sell them together with suspect H domestically," said Ketut.
