The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned state-owned port operator PT Pelindo II former president director Richard Joost Lino a second time for questioning about his alleged involvement in a graft case while he worked at the company.
"We sent the letter on Monday regarding a questioning scheduled for Friday," KPK spokeswoman Yuyuk Andriati told thejakartapost.com on Tuesday.
Lino failed to attend his first questioning scheduled on Jan. 29 saying that he suffered from a health problem that required him to receive medical treatment.
On Dec.18, 2015, the KPK named Lino a suspect in an alleged corruption case related to the procurement of three quay container cranes (QCC) in 2010. The cranes are located in Pontianak Port, West Kalimantan; Panjang Port, Lampung; and Palembang Port, South Sumatra.
The KPK moved forward its investigation into the case after the South Jakarta District Court rejected Lino's pretrial motion against the antigraft body's decision to name him a suspect in a hearing on Jan. 26.
Lino allegedly abused his authority and enriched himself by directly appointing Chinese company Wuxi Huadong Heavy Machinery Co Ltd (HDHM) to handle the procurement of the three QCC units in 2010.
The KPK charged Lino under Article 2 and/or Article 3 of Law No. 31/1999 on corruption eradication and Article 55 of the Criminal Code.
On Dec.30, 2015, the KPK imposed a 6-month travel ban on Lino.
The National Police are also investigating an alleged graft case connected to the 2012 procurement of 10 mobile cranes for nine of Pelindo II's ports. As no cranes appear to be operational, investigators have concluded that the procurement led to state losses. (ebf)
