T
he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has requested that the Law and Human Rights Ministry’s Immigration Directorate General restrict the travel of four people connected to a graft case at state-owned oil and gas producer PT Pertamina.
Ali Fikri, KPK spokesman for enforcement and institutional issues, said the individuals were suspected of involvement in graft related to a catalyst procurement tender at Pertamina.
"To facilitate the smooth progress of the investigation into alleged gratuities received in the catalyst procurement tender at PT PTM Persero, the KPK has submitted a travel restriction request with the Immigration Directorate General against four individuals believed to be associated with this case," Ali said on Monday.
In the letters requesting foreign travel restrictions, the KPK asked that the four suspects be prevented from traveling abroad for six months.
According to Ali, the travel restrictions seek to ensure that the four individuals remain within the country to be available for questioning by the investigative team.
The people subject to the travel restrictions are Chrisna Damayanto (former processing director at Pertamina), Alvin Pradipta Adyota, Gunardi Wantjik and Frederick Aldo Gunardi.
"The KPK reminds the parties involved to cooperate and attend each summons by the investigative team," Ali said.
