Investigators have confirmed he received payments from Wilmar Group through nominee accounts.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Ombudsman RI member Yeka Hendra Fatika is suspected of\naltering an Ombudsman report to revoke cooking oil export regulations.\n\u2018Mr YHF altered the content of the Ombudsman RI information report,\nwhich originally concerned cooking oil shortages, to instead advocate\nfor the revocation of the DMO or domestic market obligation for export\npurposes in an unlawful manner,\u2019 said Syarief Sulaeman, Director of\nSpecial Criminal Prosecution (Jampidsus), at the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice in Jakarta on Monday evening (25\/5\/2026). The Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice has named Yeka Hendra Fatika as a suspect in a case involving\nalleged obstruction of the investigation and prosecution of corruption\nrelated to the facilitation of crude palm oil (CPO) and its derivatives\u2019\nexport in 2022. As a result of the alteration, the Ombudsman is said to\nhave recommended the revocation of the domestic market obligation (DMO)\npolicy. However, according to the Attorney General\u2019s Office, the DMO\npolicy was actually a key basis for the alleged illegal acts in the\ncooking oil corruption case. Yeka is suspected of providing the document\nto another party, namely MS and a team from AALF Legal. The document was\nsubsequently used as the basis for lawsuits at the State Administrative\nCourt (PTUN) and a civil suit against the Ministry of Trade. \u2018This was\nconsidered in the ruling on the dismissal of the CPO criminal case\nagainst corporate defendants PT Wilmar Group, PT Musim Mas Group, and PT\nPermata Hijau Group at the district court level,\u2019 Syarief said. \u2018Mr YHF\nreceived funds from PT Wilmar Group related to the audit report via\nanother person\u2019s account,\u2019 Syarief said. However, Syarief did not\ndisclose the amount received by the suspect. He confirmed that\ninvestigators have obtained evidence of transfers and nominee accounts\nused.<\/p>",
