The Attorney General\u2019s Office (Kejagung) has named businessman Samin\nTan as a suspect in an alleged corruption case in the coal mining sector\nat PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT). In developments, investigators have\nalso raided several locations related to the case.<\/p>\n
The Director of Investigation for the Deputy Attorney General for\nSpecial Crimes (Jampidsus) at Kejagung, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, stated\nthat Tan\u2019s designation as a suspect followed the investigators obtaining\nsufficient evidence. This evidence was gathered through a series of\nwitness examinations and searches at numerous locations.<\/p>\n
The searches were conducted in West Java, South Kalimantan (Kalsel),\nDKI Jakarta, and Central Kalimantan (Kalteng). As of now, the search\nprocess is still ongoing, particularly in Central Kalimantan and South\nKalimantan.<\/p>\n
\u201cSearches were carried out in several regions, namely West Java,\nSouth Kalimantan, DKI Jakarta, and Central Kalimantan,\u201d said Syarief\nduring a press conference at Kejagung in South Jakarta on Friday evening\n(27\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it should be noted that the searches are still ongoing at\npresent, especially in the Central Kalimantan and South Kalimantan\nareas,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Additionally, investigators raided several affiliated companies,\nincluding PT Borneo Lumbung Energi & Metal (BLEM), which is said to\nhave connections to Samin Tan.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding the searches, they are indeed still ongoing. They are\nongoing in several places in South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan,\nJakarta, and West Java. The company mentioned earlier (PT BLEM) is\nindeed an affiliated company,\u201d Syarief responded to reporters\u2019\nquestions.<\/p>\n
In the construction of this case, Samin Tan is identified as the\nbeneficial owner of PT AKT, a coal mining company that previously\noperated under a Coal Mining Business Work Agreement (PKP2B). However,\nthe company\u2019s licence was revoked in 2017.<\/p>\n
Despite the revocation of the licence, PT AKT is alleged to have\ncontinued mining and selling coal illegally until 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the revocation, PT AKT continued to carry out mining and the\nsale of mining products unlawfully and against the law until 2025,\u201d he\nrevealed.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, these activities are suspected to have been conducted by\nviolating invalid permits and collaborating with rogue state officials\nresponsible for supervision in the mining sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cThus causing harm to the state finances or the national economy,\u201d\nSyarief added.<\/p>\n
Kejagung indicated the involvement of state officials in this case.\nHowever, as of now, no individuals from those elements have been named\nas suspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have already stated that in this case, there is collaboration with\nstate officials tasked with supervising the mine. As for who the state\nofficials are, we will convey that later,\u201d Syarief explained.<\/p>\n
He noted that the element of collaboration with state officials forms\nthe basis for classifying this case as a corruption offence.<\/p>\n
In this case, Samin Tan is charged with violating Articles 603 and\n604 of the Criminal Code. He is now detained for the next 20 days at the\nSalemba Branch Detention House of the Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/attorney-generals-office-raids-several-locations-in-central-kalimantan-and-jakarta-in-samin-tan-case-1774677108", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
