        "summary": "The Attorney General's Office has named HS, the Head of the KSOP Rangga Ilung office, as one of three new suspects in the alleged corruption case involving mining permit irregularities at PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT). HS is accused of issuing sailing approval letters to PT MCM and other companies using falsified documents for coal shipments, despite knowing that AKT's mining permit had been terminated since 2017, and receiving illegal monthly payments from affiliates of AKT's beneficial owner, Samin Tan. This development highlights ongoing efforts to dismantle networks facilitating illegal mining operations through manipulated verifications and port authority approvals.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Attorney General\u2019s Office (Kejagung) has\nrevealed the role of HS, the Head of the Port Authority and Harbour\nMaster\u2019s Office (KSOP) Rangga Ilung, in the alleged corruption case of\nmining business permit deviations at PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT).<\/p>\n<p>Director of Investigation of the Deputy Attorney General for Special\nCrimes (Jampidsus) Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi stated that HS is one of three\nnew suspects designated in the case development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEssentially, suspect HS, as Head of KSOP Rangga Ilung, issued\nsailing approval letters to PT MCM and other companies. However, suspect\nHS knew that the ship traffic documents for the coal cargo belonged to\nAKT and were sold using incorrect documents,\u201d said Syarief during a\npress conference at the Kejagung Building, Jakarta, on Thursday night\n(23\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, HS is also alleged to have received illegal monthly\npayments from companies affiliated with Samin Tan, the beneficial owner\nof PT AKT.<\/p>\n<p>The receipt of this money is suspected to have caused HS to neglect\nhis duty to check verification result reports from the Ministry of\nEnergy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) as a requirement for issuing sailing\ninstruction letters.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, PT AKT\u2019s mining permit had been terminated since 2017, so\nmining activities and coal distribution should no longer have been\ntaking place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus, at that time, as we know, PT AKT\u2019s mining permit had been\nterminated in 2017. Therefore, during that period, there was no\nsupervision from elsewhere; what was there was the KSOP,\u201d explained\nSyarief.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to HS, investigators have also named two other suspects:\nBJW, Director of PT AKT, and HZM, General Manager of PT OOWL\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The three are suspected of collaborating to facilitate the illegal\nmining output through the use of mismatched documents and manipulation\nof verification reports.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the suspects have been detained for 20 days at the Class I\nCipinang Detention Centre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspects are charged with violating Article 603 and subsidiarily\n604 (Anti-Corruption Law), just like the others,\u201d stated Syarief.<\/p>\n<p>This case is a development from the corruption case implicating Samin\nTan.<\/p>\n<p>In the investigation process, the Jampidsus team has also conducted\nsearches at several KSOP offices in South Kalimantan and Central\nKalimantan.<\/p>\n<p>From these searches, investigators seized various shipping documents\nand electronic evidence items allegedly related to the corruption\npractices.<\/p>",
