he National Police says that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has agreed to supervise the police investigation into an alleged corruption case involving the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Task Force (SKKMigas) and PT Trans Pacific Pertrochemical Indotama (TPPI).
"The KPK will supervise [the investigation] and we will also coordinate with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center [PPATK]," the director of special economic crimes Brig. Gen. Victor E. Simanjuntak said on Wednesday.
Previously, the police said that several officials from TPPI and SKKMigas were suspected of money laundering. From 2009 to 2010, the TPPI collaborated with SKKMigas to market condensers in Indonesia, but the former never paid the profits from the sale of the equipment to the latter.
Despite the alleged foul play, SKKMigas continued to extend its contracts with the firm.
According to investigators, the case allegedly caused state losses of US$156 million.
Victor explained that both the KPK and the police force had been investigating the case separately. However, it was finally decided that the police force would lead the investigation.
"After a meeting, KPK leaders said that the police force could handle the case and the KPK was willing to hand over its investigation documents to help," he said. (++++)
