Jakarta (B2B) - Polda Metro Jaya kembali menggeledah kantor di Kementerian Perdagangan (Kemendag) terkait dugaan korupsi dan pencucian uang, dikaitkan dengan kasus 'Dwelling Time' di pelabuhan kontainer Tanjung Priok di Jakarta Utara.

"Penggeledahan dimulai pukul 16:00 dan difokuskan pada ruangan kerja direktorat jenderal perdagangan luar negeri," Kadiv Humas Polda Metro Jaya, Komisaris Besar Mohammad Iqbal di Jakarta pada Senin.

Pihak Polda Metro Jaya terus berupaya mencari lebih banyak bukti dalam pengusutan kasus korupsi dan pencucian uang, yang melibatkan pejabat tinggi di Kemendag.

Ketika polisi menggeledah gedung Kementerian Perdagangan sebelumnya, ditemukan uang tunai dalam pecahan dolar AS dan dolar Singapura, yang diyakini sebagai hasil penyuapan.

Selain itu, saat ini kepolisian telah memiliki lima tersangka dalam kasus ini, termasuk Dirjen Perdagangan Luar Negeri berinisial PP yang saat ini dinonaktifkan dari jabatannya.

Jakarta (B2B) - The Jakarta Metropolitan Police searched the office of the Trade Ministry once again in connection with an alleged case of corruption and money laundering. The case is related to dwelling time at the Tanjung Priok container terminal in North Jakarta.

"The search began at 04:00 p.m and the search was conducted in the room of the ministrys directorate general of foreign trade," Spokesman for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Senior Commissioner Mohammad Iqbal said here on Monday.

The police are trying to find more evidence to further investigate the alleged case of corruption and money laundering, which involves a senior official of the ministry.

When the police had searched the Trade Ministry building earlier, they had seized cash in U. S. and Singapore dollars, which they believe was earned from bribery.

Moreover, they have named five suspects in the case, including the suspended director general of foreign trade identified by his initials as PP.
