AGO Transfers PT AKT Corruption Suspect to Central Jakarta Prosecutors

The Attorney General’s Office has transferred one suspect in the alleged corruption case involving irregularities in the mining management of PT AKT (Asmin Koalindo Tuhup), identified by the initials HS, to the Central Jakarta District Attorney’s Office.

“On Thursday (13/8), the handover of the suspect and evidence (stage two) was carried out for suspect HS to the public prosecution team,” said the Head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, in a statement received in Jakarta on Friday.

Anang explained that HS was named a suspect in a corruption case concerning irregularities in the mining management of PT AKT in Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan, from 2016 to 2025.

According to Anang, suspect HS, in his capacity as Harbourmaster at the Rangga Ilung Port Authority Office from September 2022 to May 2025, issued sailing approval letters to affiliated companies owned by suspect ST (Samin Tan). HS did so despite knowing that the ship traffic documents contained coal belonging to PT AKT whose permit had already been terminated.

In addition, HS also received money from ship agencies to issue sailing approval letters, including from PT AC. The suspect never carried out direct checks on the source of the coal as required by the applicable technical guidelines.

Anang said the documents should only have been issued if other obligations were met, one of which was the validity of the cargo.

For his actions, suspect HS is charged under Article 603 in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code, in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 on Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption.

For the purposes of proving the case, suspect HS will be detained for the next 20 days until 1 September 2026.

“The public prosecution team at the Central Jakarta District Attorney’s Office will prepare the indictment and transfer the case file to the Corruption Court at the Special Class IA Central Jakarta District Court,” said Anang.
