Jakarta -The Attorney General's Office ( AGO ) has named the Director General of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Trade (Dirjen PLN of the Ministry of Trade) with the initials IWW as a suspect in the alleged corruption case in granting export facilities for crude palm oil or CPO or cooking oil. He was snared along with 3 other people from the private sector.
Attorney General ST Burhanuddin immediately announced the determination of the suspects. Burhanuddin said the actions of the suspects caused losses to the country's economy.
"The actions of the suspects resulted in state economic losses or resulted in the expensiveness and scarcity of cooking oil so that there was a decrease in household consumption and small industries that use cooking oil and made people's lives difficult," said Burhanuddin at his office, Jalan Sultan Hasanuddin, South Jakarta, Tuesday ( 19/4/2022).
The 3 suspects from the private sector are as follows:
- MPT as Commissioner of PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia
- SMA as Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs for Permata Hijau Group (PHG)
- PT as General Manager in the General Affairs Section of PT Musim Mas
Director General of Trade of the Ministry of Trade Examined as Witness Regarding CPO Export Case
According to Burhanuddin, initially at the end of 2021 there was a scarcity and increase in the price of cooking oil in the market, which prompted the government through the Ministry of Trade to take a policy to establish DMO or domestic market obligation and DPO or domestic price obligation for companies wishing to export CPO and its derivative products. In addition, the Ministry of Trade sets the highest retail price (HET) for palm cooking oil.
"In practice, exporting companies do not meet the DPO but still get export approval from the government," said Burhanuddin.
The Attorney General's Office investigated the case which later named the 4 suspects. The suspects are suspected of violating Article 54 paragraph (1) letter a and paragraph (2) letters a, b, e, and f of Law Number 7 of 2014 concerning Trade.
In addition, the suspects are suspected of violating the Decree of the Minister of Trade Number 129 of 2022 in conjunction with Number 170 of 2022 concerning Determination of Amounts for Distribution of Domestic Market Obligations and Domestic Price Bonds and the provisions of Chapter II Letter A number (1) letter b, juncto Chapter II letter C number 4 letter c Regulation of the Director General of Foreign Trade Number 02/DAGLU/PER/1/2022 concerning technical guidelines for implementing policies and regulations for exporting CPO, RDB Palm Olein and UCO.
