TheIKNPost.com — MAKI Coordinator Urges the Attorney General to Name RBS as a Suspect in the Tin Trading Corruption Case at PT Timah Bangka Belitung
The Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI), Boyamin Saiman, has sent an open summons to the Jampidsus Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia regarding alleged corruption in the tin commodity trade system at PT Timah Bangka Belitung.
In the summons, Boyamin Saiman emphasized the importance of naming RBS as a suspect (TSK) in corruption in the tin commodity trade system.
RBS — who is said to have a private jet with registration code T7-JAB and is part of the 303 consortium and the fat accounts of a number of generals at National Police Headquarters — as the big boss in this case, is suspected of being the main beneficiary of the illegal tin mining business operated by Harvey Moeis.
Saiman stated that MAKI would file a pre-trial hearing against the Attorney General’s Office if this subpoena did not receive an adequate response.
The plan is that a pretrial will be filed next month if the Attorney General’s Office has not named RBS as a suspect.
In his explanation, Boyamin Saiman stated that RBS deserved to be charged with the crime of money laundering (TPPU), because it was suspected of being involved in manipulating money resulting from corruption using Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mode.
Apart from that, Saiman also highlighted the need to put RBS on the wanted list (DPO), considering the alleged escape of RBS abroad.
The Attorney General’s Office has not provided an official response regarding this subpoena.
Head of Jatam Legal Division Voices Suspicions Regarding the Implementation of Tin Mining
Muhammad Jamil, Head of the Legal Division of the Mining Advocacy Network (Jatam), also voiced his suspicions about the process of organizing tin mining.
According to him, the suspects who have been named are only at the operator level, while the intellectual actors in this corruption case have not yet been revealed.
Jamil explained that often the names of intellectual actors are not recorded in the organizational structure of mining companies. They often use other parties, such as lawyers or artists, to fill their positions.
Yenti Garnasih, an expert in money laundering law (TPPU), also expressed his suspicions about the existence of powerful people protecting criminal acts of corruption in tin mining.
Garnasih questioned the state’s supervision of illegal mining, and doubted whether there was a conspiracy between illegal miners and the supervisory authorities.
These questions highlight the need for transparency and accountability in the tin mining industry, as well as the need for firm law enforcement against corrupt practices that harm the state and society.
