        "summary": "The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) is investigating alleged corruption in the management of PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT), owned by Samin Tan, in Central Kalimantan, applying the new Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) despite the corrupt acts occurring since 2017. Samin Tan, designated as a suspect, faces asset seizure for failing to pay fines for illegal mining activities after his coal mining permit expired, resulting in state losses exceeding Rp4.2 trillion. This case highlights the transitional provisions of the new legal framework and potential involvement of state officials in granting illicit permits.",
        "content": "<p>The Attorney General\u2019s Office (Kejagung) has confirmed that the case\nof alleged corruption in the management of mining operations at PT Asmin\nKoalindo Tuhup (AKT), owned by Samin Tan, in Murung Raya Regency,\nCentral Kalimantan, is being investigated using the latest Criminal\nProcedure Code (KUHAP). Although the corrupt actions began in 2017, the\ninvestigation adheres to the new provisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt follows the rules of the new Criminal Code, the transitional\nrules,\u201d said Director of Investigations at the Deputy Attorney General\nfor Special Crimes of Kejagung, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, at the Kejagung\noffice in South Jakarta on Saturday, 28 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Syarief explained that the applicable KUHAP is determined by the date\nthe investigation and prosecution are conducted. Therefore, the case\nimplicating PT AKT owner Samin Tan cannot follow the old KUHAP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if we conduct the investigation in 2026, even though the events\noccurred before 2026, it still uses the new Criminal Code. That\u2019s how\nthe transitional rules work,\u201d Syarief stated.<\/p>\n<p>Founder of PT AKT, Samin Tan (ST), has been named a suspect in this\ncase. Investigators have detained Samin Tan for the initial 20 days.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, Samin Tan, as the beneficial owner of AKT, failed to\nfulfil his obligation to pay the fine demanded by the PKH Task Force for\nthe misuse of mining land.<\/p>\n<p>Samin Tan\u2019s company held a Coal Mining Business Agreement (PKPB2B)\npermit that expired in 2017. However, the company continued excavating\nthe mining site until 2025.<\/p>\n<p>This illegal activity was detected by the PKH Task Force, leading to\na demand for fine payment. Instead of paying, Samin Tan stubbornly\nattempted to deceive law enforcement by using invalid permit\ndocuments.<\/p>\n<p>Kejagung suspects collaboration between Samin Tan and related\nofficials who abused their authority to grant illegal mining permits. In\nthis matter, the state suffered losses of Rp4,248,751,390,842.<\/p>",
