As a result, PT Melanton Pratama won the catalyst acquisition for the period 2013 to 2014. “The contract value of USD 14.4 million, about RP176.4 billion, the Rupiah exchange rate in 2014. After being elected as the winner of the catalyst procurement, PT -LP then gave a few fees to the CD brother at least RP1.7bn,” he said. Asep explained that the acceptance of the fee was allegedly based on policies conducted by Chrisna, which was not in line with his duties and obligations. Gunardi and Frederick as the giver claimed that they violated Article 5 paragraph (1) Letter A or Letter B of the PTPK Act in collaboration with section 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Act. While Alvin, as the recipient, is suspected of violating Article 12 letter A or section 12 letter B or section 11 in violation of section 55 paragraph (1) of the penal code. (IAL/MAA)
