PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office (AGO) said it has not found any evidence linking PT Salim Ivo Mas Pratama to an ongoing corruption investigation involving the alleged manipulation of palm oil export values.
Syarief Sulaiman Nahdi, Director of Investigations at the Office of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, stated that investigators have determined that the company primarily sells its products to the domestic market rather than engaging in export activities that are currently under investigation.
“PT Salim Ivo Mas Pratama sells its products to meet domestic demand within Indonesia,” Syarief told reporters at the Attorney General’s Office in Jakarta on Tuesday.
