        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - PT Putraprima Mineral Mandiri (PMM) has denied allegations\nof smuggling hazardous and radioactive minerals via the export of 15\ncontainers from Batam, Riau Islands.<\/p>\n<p>Legal counsel Poltak Silitonga stated the company visited the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office to submit various permits, including\nindustrial business licenses, Environmental Management and Monitoring\nEfforts (UKL-UPL) documents, Mining Business License (IUP) for\nproduction operations, Work and Budget Plan (RKAB), and Export Approval\n(PE) from the Ministry of Trade. Customs-related documents for the 15\ncontainers under scrutiny were also presented.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We came here to refute and reject these allegations. The accusations\nare defamatory, baseless, and highly damaging to our company,\u2019 Silitonga\nsaid at the Bundar Building in Jakarta on Friday (29 May 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He disputed claims of radioactive content in the exported materials,\nciting Sucofindo\u2019s test results as not indicating such presence.\nSilitonga also criticised earlier press conferences for misleading the\npublic, noting that TNI Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Richard\nTampubolon received incorrect information.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If our goods contained radioactive or hazardous materials, Sucofindo\nand Customs would not have issued their approvals. It\u2019s straightforward\nas both are government entities,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Barita Simanjuntak, spokesperson for the Forest Clearing\nTask Force (PKH), affirmed that the Indonesian Navy\u2019s investigative team\noperated professionally using authentic material test results.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Navy\u2019s investigative team operated professionally using\nauthentic material test results,\u2019 Barita told Kompas.com on Friday.<\/p>",
