Former ASDP CEO Defends Against Alleged Rp1.25 Trillion State Loss
Legal Proceedings and Allegations
Ira Puspadewi, former CEO of PT Angkutan Sungai, Danau, dan Penyeberangan (ASDP) Indonesia Ferry (Persero), has strongly defended herself against allegations of causing Rp1.25 trillion in state losses. The allegations stem from suspected corruption during business cooperation and acquisition processes involving PT Jembatan Nusantara between 2019 and 2022.
Dispute Over Loss Calculation
Puspadewi contested the KPK's calculation of financial losses, arguing that it was conducted internally without involvement from BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agency) or BPK (Supreme Audit Agency). She emphasized that the 98.5% loss calculation relative to transaction value was unreasonable. The KPK's internal calculation was performed three months after Puspadewi's detention.
Legal Context and Implications
The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of state-owned enterprises' business dealings and the importance of transparent financial assessments. Puspadewi's defense underscores potential discrepancies in how state losses are calculated and the need for standardized procedures.
