TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former Pertamina Commissioner Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok, has stated that he is prepared to provide meeting records from his tenure between 2019 and 2024 to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO). He hopes the data will be able to assist the ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in the management of crude oil at Pertamina’s subholdings from 2018 to 2023.
"If requested, I will provide the records," Ahok said before entering the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) office in South Jakarta on Thursday, March 13. The former Jakarta governor was summoned as a witness in the case, which involves executives from Pertamina Patra Niaga, Kilang Pertamina Internasional, and Pertamina International Shipping.
The former Pertamina chief commissioner arrived at the AGO complex at 8:36 AM. To reporters, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with investigators. "I am happy to assist the AGO. I will share everything I know," he said.
The AGO is investigating suspected collusion between Pertamina’s subholdings and private companies to circumvent bidding procedures for crude oil and fuel procurement. The scheme allegedly involved a 13-15 percent contract markup for shipping, as well as the purchase of RON 92 fuel, which was then substituted with lower-spec RON 90 fuel.
Prosecutors estimate state losses from the corruption case at Rp193.7 trillion. Nine people have been named as suspects, including six Pertamina subholding executives and three private-sector individuals.
