AGO Seizes 104 Tonnes of Tin from Smelter Boss Convicted in Tin Corruption Case
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has executed a seizure of assets belonging to Tamron alias Aon, the beneficial owner of CV Venus Inti Perkasa and PT Menara Cipta Mulia, who was convicted in a corruption case concerning tin trading governance within the mining business permit area of PT Timah Tbk for the 2015-2022 period. The execution team seized 104 tonnes of tin.
The seizure is part of the execution of a court ruling related to criminal acts of corruption and money laundering in the tin commodity trading system within PT Timah Tbk’s mining permit area from 2015 to 2022.
‘The seizure was carried out on Monday, 6 July 2026, at the smelter warehouse of PT Menara Cipta Mulia, located in Mentawak Village, East Belitung Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands,’ said the Head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, in a statement on Tuesday (7/7/2026).
Anang detailed that the seized tin consisted of two main groups. The first group weighed 49,486 kilogrammes and comprised 11 types, ranging from dross and crystal tin to tin metal with a purity level of up to 99.95 per cent. The second group had a total weight of 54,960 kilogrammes, categorised into five types: tin dust, slag blocks, iron-tin blocks, dross, and casting dross. In total, the seized tin assets amounted to 104,446 kilogrammes, or approximately 104 tonnes.
‘In addition, the team of executing prosecutors also secured 58 jumbo bags which have been secured at the PT Timah Tbk warehouse in Gantung, East Bangka,’ Anang revealed.
Anang stated that, based on court facts, these assets were proven to be under the control of PT Menara Cipta Mulia. Although the company’s founding documents listed other individuals as management, the company was proven to be controlled by Tamron alias Aon. ‘Even though the company’s deed of establishment lists Taskin and Rahmadi Toha as the management, in reality PT MCM was controlled by the convict Tamron alias Aon,’ he explained.
He confirmed that all seized evidence will be auctioned soon to cover the additional penalty of restitution imposed on the convict. ‘Therefore, it can be concluded that the secured tin commodity is the lawful property of the convict to be confiscated and subsequently auctioned,’ Anang stated. ‘The proceeds from the auction of this tin will be fully used to pay the restitution imposed on the convict Tamron alias Aon,’ he concluded.
It is known that at the first instance trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Tamron was sentenced to 8 years in prison and a fine of Rp 1 billion. The panel of judges was convinced that Tamron had been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing corruption and money laundering in the tin trading system within the mining permit area of PT Timah Tbk. Subsequently, the Jakarta High Court panel of judges decided to increase Tamron’s sentence from 8 years to 18 years in prison. Tamron was also fined Rp 1 billion, subsidiary to 6 months in custody, and ordered to pay restitution amounting to Rp 3,538,932,640,663.
