"The suspects are alleged to have attached private precious metals with the Logam Mulia (LM) Antam brand. He said that this caused Antam, which is a state-owned enterprise, to suffer losses. 'Even though these suspects know that attaching the LM Antam brand cannot be done arbitrarily, but must be preceded by a work contract and there are cost calculations that must be paid, because this brand is the exclusive right of PT Antam,' said Kuntadi."

"He said that the suspects had printed precious metals in various sizes totaling 109 tons. According to him, the gold was circulated by the suspects in the market simultaneously with the official precious metal products of PT Antam. Kuntadi mentioned that this action damaged the official market of Antam products. "As a result of the actions of these suspects, during that period, precious metals in various sizes totaling 109 tons were printed and then circulated in the market simultaneously with the official precious metal products of PT Antam," he said."

However, Kuntadi has not yet explained in detail the amount of state losses in this case. He said that the suspects are charged under Article 2 Paragraph (1) and Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Indonesian Law Number 31 Year 1999 as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 Year 2001 in conjunction with Indonesian Law Number 31 Year 1999 on Amendments to Indonesian Law Number 31 Year 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) point 1 of the Indonesian Criminal Code.

Syarif said that all Antam's precious metal gold products are equipped with official certificates, and processed in the only gold processing and refining factory in Indonesia that has been certified by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Therefore, it can be ensured that all Logam Mulia Antam gold products circulating in society are genuine and guaranteed in their purity level.

"As for the 109 tons of precious metal gold products that were confiscated by the Prosecutor's Office, it is considered to be related to the unofficial use of the LM Antam brand, while the products themselves are genuine products produced in the Antam factory," he said. The company, according to Syarif, also understands the concerns and anxieties of customers of precious metal gold products.

"At present, all communication channels of Antam's precious metal products are available to provide customers with the necessary information through whatsapp ALMIRA 0811-1002-002 and Call Center 0804-1-888-888," added Faisal. Syarif said that Antam ensures good business governance and continues to make improvements by complying with applicable regulations."
