Seven Police Officers Implicated in Subsidised BBM Hoarding Previously, seven police officers were suspected of being involved in the hoarding of subsidised BBM, specifically diesel, in East Manggarai, NTT. Not only that, the flow of BBM is alleged to have ended up at a company with a total of 30 tonnes. Aipda Jelo and Bripda HFI were the first parties uncovered in this case. Both are suspected of direct involvement in hoarding subsidised diesel. In total, seven police officers are now suspected of being implicated. The subsidised fuel oil (BBM) was stored in a warehouse owned by PT SS in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai. Businessman’s Response In the flow, the subsidised diesel BBM was said to have been distributed to the owner of PT SS, Jimy Lasmono alias Ko Jimy. He is suspected of being the receiver of the goods stored in his warehouse in West Manggarai, amounting to 30 tonnes. However, Jimy denies the allegations. “That is not true,” said Jimy on Monday (27/4), quoted from detikBali.
