Acting Jampidsus: Two Individuals with Initials F and DS Named as Suspects

Acting Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Plt Jampidsus) Rudi Margono said two individuals with the initials F and DS have been named suspects in three alleged corruption cases related to coal governance that triggered electricity outages in Sumatra.

“The information is that two suspects have been named. The first is a private party (DS), and the second is a civil servant with the initials F,” said Acting Jampidsus Rudi Margono at a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia in Jakarta on Saturday.

The naming of the civil servant suspect with the initials F was confirmed by Habiburokhman, Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives, who attended the press conference.

“This F is someone who previously held the post where Pak Jampidsus (Rudi) is currently stationed,” he added.

On Thursday (9 July), a joint team from the National Police’s Special Corruption Criminal Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor) and Greater Jakarta Regional Police searched a house in the Sentul area of Bogor Regency, West Java.

Head of the National Police’s Kortastipidkor, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, said investigators seized gold bars, foreign currency and cash worth approximately Rp476 billion from the house.

In addition to the gold and cash, investigators also seized a number of documents, mobile phones and several family photographs believed to be connected to the owner of the house or the owner of the items stored in the safe.

The search formed part of a joint investigation into three cases: alleged corruption in coal governance that triggered the power outages, alleged corruption at PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya covering the 2020–2025 period, and alleged money laundering in the settlement of PT CBS’s debts to PT KNI.
