JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Fuad Amin Imron, graft and money laundering suspect, is expected to face his first trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Thursday (May. 7), related to the case of gas supply agreement implicating PT Media Karya Sentosa (MKS).
The Prabowo Subianto’s Gerindra Party politician has been named as one of suspects in the case by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He was caught red-handed by KPK’s investigators along with two other suspects in the case in a bribery transaction on Dec. 1, 2014, whereas KPK seized Rp700 million of bribe money from the transaction.
KPK charged Fuad with three separate cases. First is the case that he had allegedly received gratifications during his term as Speaker of the Bangkalan Legislative Council (DPRD).
Second, Fuad had allegedly received gratifications during his term as Bangkalan Regent for two periods (2003-2013). And as for the third case, the KPK charged Fuad with the Anti-Money Laundering Law.
KPK previously stated that Fuad’s seized assets, in form of billions rupiah plus lands and properties, amount to the largest number of assets that the KPK ever seized in a graft case. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
