Johnny G. Plate, Minister of Communication and Informatics (Kemenkominfo), was recently questioned as a witness by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

According to Katadata, Plate was questioned in the investigation of the procurement of 4G base transceiver station (BTS) towers and supporting infrastructure for packages 1-5 of BAKTI Kemenkominfo during the 2020-2022 period. The estimated state losses due to this case reach Rp1 trillion.

Gregorius Alex Plate, Johnny's brother, was also questioned. He allegedly received Rp534 million from BAKTI. Alex has since returned all the funds he received.

No charges have been filed against Johnny G. Plate to date. Kuntadi, Director of Investigation at the Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), stated that the investigation team has moved to the next stage to determine the fate of the Secretary General of the National Democrat Party.
