Jakarta, ECNETNews – Kartika Dewi, the sister of Sandra Dewi, has confirmed receiving a monetary transfer of Rp200 million from Harvey Moeis, intended as a Christmas gift. This statement was made during the trial concerning the alleged corruption case involving Timah, where Harvey Moeis is the defendant. The hearing took place at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on October 10, 2024.
During the proceedings, a prosecutor inquired, “Did the witness ever receive a transfer from Mr. Harvey?” Kartika responded affirmatively. When pressed about the amount, she disclosed, “Rp200 million.” She noted that she did not question the source of the funds, which were sent on December 13, 2022.
When asked if the transfer coincided with her birthday, Kartika clarified, “No, it was Christmas.” She elaborated that this was not a routine transfer, stating, “Mr. Harvey never gave gifts before; this was solely for Christmas on December 13, 2022.”
Additionally, Mira Moeis was called as a witness during this trial and similarly revealed that she received Rp200 million from Harvey, also as a Christmas gift.
The prosecutor asked if the year was the same, to which Mira confirmed. When questioned about the substantial amount, she replied, “I never asked; it was only that one time.” She also indicated that she did not inquire about the origin of the funds.
In the ongoing case, Harvey is accused of meeting with Mochtar Riza Pahlevi Tabrani, the President Director of PT Timah, and other directors to discuss demands for a 5% allocation of tin ore from private smelter export quotas. Furthermore, Harvey allegedly solicited payments from several tin mining companies, ostensibly for security fees, which were misrepresented as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) operations, totaling Rp420 billion.
The accused companies include CV Venus Inti Perkasa, PT Sariwiguna Bina Sentosa, PT Stanindo Inti Perkasa, and PT Tinindo Internusa. Prosecutors allege that Harvey received illicit funds totaling Rp420 billion from corrupt practices related to the management of mining business licenses for PT Timah Tbk (TINS) during the period from 2015 to 2022.
For these actions, Harvey Moeis faces charges violating multiple articles of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and Money Laundering regulations.
