he police say they are scheduled to question on Wednesday former finance minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati as a witness in a graft case in connection with the selling of condensate involving PT Trans-Pacific Petrochemical Indotama (PT TPPI), the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKKMigas) and the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.
'She will be questioned as a witness in the condensate corruption,' Police Detectives Corps director of economic crimes Brig. Gen. Victor E. Simanjuntak was quoted as saying by kompas.com on Monday.
He said the graft case had caused Rp 2 trillion (US$151.48 million) in state losses, adding that the summons had been delivered to Mulyani.
'We hope she will heed the police's summons to explain details about the case,' he said.
Victor said police investigators had found irregularities when SKK Migas appointed PT TPPI to sell condensate, when PT TPPI violated a vice presidential decision to sell condensate to Pertamina but instead sold it to another company.
The contract between PT TPPI and SKK Migas was signed in March 2009, but PT TPPI received condensate to sell from upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas in January 2009. It has been alleged that the company did not hand over the funds from the sale to the state.
The police are coordinating with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) to trace the flow of funds.
So far, the police have questioned 30 witnesses from SKK Migas, PT TPPI and the ministry and named three people suspects in the case.
