Wakabareskrim Polri Irjen Nunung Syaifudin stated that the\nrevelations occurred during the period from 7 April to 20 April\n2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe criminal acts of misusing BBM and LPG have caused financial\nlosses to the state of approximately Rp 243,669,600,800 over 13 days,\u201d\nsaid Irjen Nunung during a press conference at the Bareskrim Polri\nbuilding in South Jakarta on Tuesday (21\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
During that period, police successfully acted on 223 police reports\n(LP) with a total of 330 suspects. Not only did they arrest the\nperpetrators, but police also seized a number of pieces of evidence in\nthese revelations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe evidence secured includes 403,158 litres of diesel, 58,656\nlitres of Pertalite, 13,346 LPG cylinders, as well as 161 four-wheeled\nand six-wheeled vehicles,\u201d Nunung revealed.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Nunung explained that based on data from 2025 to\n2026, there were 65 public fuel filling stations (SPBU) involved in\ncriminal acts of misusing subsidised BBM. Of that number, 46 cases have\nbeen declared complete (P21) and 19 others are still under\ninvestigation.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that Polri will not compromise with anyone who plays\naround with the rights of small people, including rogue officials. In\nthis operation, Polri also received full support from the TNI Military\nPolice Centre (Puspom).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have committed that whoever is involved, whether from TNI members\nor Polri members, we will take firm action. This is to give a deterrent\neffect to rogue elements and business actors,\u201d Nunung stressed.<\/p>\n
Nunung assessed that the perpetrators not only harm the state\nmaterially but also torment the public who struggle to obtain BBM and\nLPG.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese perpetrators are not only betraying the state but also\nbetraying the people. I emphasise once again, models like that will face\nus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bareskrim, continued Nunung, will not only apply general criminal\narticles but will also ensnare the intellectual actors and capital\nowners with money laundering criminal articles (TPPU).<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever is involved, whether field perpetrators, capital owners,\nreceivers, or actors behind the scenes, we will pursue, act against, and\nprocess to completion. I have ordered investigators to charge them with\nTPPU articles,\u201d Nunung clarified.<\/p>\n
Not only that, if involvement of civil servants (ASN) is found, Polri\nwill hand over the case to the Directorate of Corruption Crimes. Polri\nis also collaborating with PPATK to track the flow of funds from these\nmafias.<\/p>\n
Nunung reiterated that there will be no room for energy mafias to\noperate. \u201cOur commitment is zero tolerance towards BBM and subsidised\nLPG mafias. The motto remains the same: if you remain reckless, I will\nstill crush you,\u201d Nunung concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/police-uncover-misuse-of-subsidised-fuel-and-lpg-state-loses-rp-243-billion-in-13-days-1776750693", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
