Previously, the Attorney General\u2019s Office searched Yeka Hendra\nFatika\u2019s office and residence while he was still a Commissioner of the\nIndonesian Ombudsman on Monday, 9 March 2026. The search was related to\na corruption case involving crude palm oil (CPO) management.<\/p>\n
All began with the acquittal of three corporations charged by the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office: Wilmar Group, Musim Mas Group, and Permata\nHijau Group on 19 March 2025. Investigations revealed that the verdict\nhad been pre-arranged, with suspects including prosecutors, judges, and\nlawyers involved.<\/p>\n
The basis for the acquittal included a ruling by the State\nAdministrative Court (PTUN) in favour of the corporations. One of the\ntools used was a recommendation from the Indonesian Ombudsman concluding\nthere was \u2018maladministration\u2019 in the policy on crude palm oil (CPO)\nexports.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors believe there was \u2018manipulation\u2019 behind the Ombudsman\u2019s\nrecommendation, which prompted the search of a Commissioner\u2019s office and\nresidence over suspected involvement in the manipulation.<\/p>\n
\u201cConfirmed, one of the reasons (regarding the Ombudsman\u2019s\nrecommendation for the PTUN lawsuit),\u201d said Attorney General\u2019s Office\nPublic Information Chief (Kapuspenkum) Anang Supriatna on 9 March when\nasked if the search was linked to the Ombudsman\u2019s recommendation during\nthe corporations\u2019 PTUN lawsuit.<\/p>\n
According to Anang, the Ombudsman Commissioner\u2019s actions are\nsuspected of obstructing prosecutors\u2019 investigations, leading to the\ncorporations temporarily evading legal consequences.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is charged under Article 21 of the Anti-Corruption Law for\nobstructing investigations and prosecution in the previous cooking oil\ncase, the \u2018onslag\u2019 verdict,\u201d Anang explained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/attorney-generals-office-questions-former-ombudsman-yeka-hendra-over-cpo-case-acquittal-1780155259", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
