        "summary": "The Indonesian National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps has not yet detained four suspects in a fuel sales corruption case involving Pertamina Patra Niaga and PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup, citing their cooperative behaviour. The case, which occurred between 2009 and 2012, involves a non-cash payment scheme and resulted in state losses of approximately USD 30.37 million. Investigators stated that detention is not currently necessary as the suspects have not impeded the process of completing the investigation.",
        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) of the Indonesian\nNational Police has not detained four suspects in a case of alleged\ncorruption related to a non-cash fuel sales cooperation agreement\nbetween PT Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN) and PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT)\nfor the 2009-2012 period, as all are still considered cooperative.<\/p>\n<p>Head of Sub-Directorate I of Kortastipidkor, Police Commissioner\nDanny H. Ardiantara B. Sianipar, stated that investigators have not\nencountered any obstacles in completing the investigation process to\ndate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the suspects were named, until now we have not found any\nobstacles in completing our investigation. To date, we have not detained\nthese four suspects,\u201d Danny said during a press conference at the\nBareskrim Polri building in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Danny added that investigators have also not requested a travel ban\nagainst the suspects because they have all remained cooperative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause all the suspects are still cooperative and there are no\nhindrances to our investigation, we have not detained or prevented the\nsuspects from travelling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The case originated from a cooperation agreement for the sale of\nhigh-speed diesel (HSD) fuel between PT PPN and PT AKT using a payment\nmechanism via a Letter of Credit (LC) or Domestic Documentary Credit\n(SKBDN).<\/p>\n<p>During its implementation, PT AKT was late in making payments on\nseveral occasions and fell into arrears on its obligations. However,\nauthorised officials at PT PPN allegedly did not stop the fuel\ndistribution or implement risk mitigation measures as required by\nprevailing regulations.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, fuel distribution continued even though payment\nobligations had not been met. PT AKT obtained financing facilities for\nlarge-volume fuel sales without adequate guarantees, while the risk of\nloss was borne by PT PPN.<\/p>\n<p>From the distribution of approximately 191.37 million litres of fuel\nvalued at USD 137.29 million, there were unmet payment obligations.\nBased on an audit by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), the case resulted\nin state financial losses of USD 30,370,958.61, or approximately IDR 486\nbillion.<\/p>",
