Attorney General Visits PT AKT to Review Law Enforcement in Samin Tan Case
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Attorney General ST Burhanuddin, as Deputy Chair I of the Forest Area Control Task Force (Satgas PKH), on Tuesday (7/4/2026), conducted a site inspection in Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan. This inspection was in connection with law enforcement and the process of controlling forest areas against PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT).
Head of the Public Relations Centre for the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung), Anang Supriatna, in his press release explained that the site inspection was also attended by Minister of Defence Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin as Chair of the Satgas PKH; TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto; Indonesian National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo; Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia; Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni; and Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) M Yusuf Ateh; along with the Implementing Team of Satgas PKH and Satgas PKH Members.
Previously, according to Anang, the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (JAM Pidsus) of Kejagung had conducted an investigation and designated Samin Tan as a suspect for carrying out illegal mining, even though the business permit had been revoked since 2017.
Satgas PKH had also taken action against PT AKT because up to the specified deadline PT AKT did not fulfil its obligations, so Satgas PKH took steps by following up on the violation through law enforcement mechanisms, in this case carried out by JAM Pidsus Kejagung.
In this case, the Prosecutor’s Office has designated a suspect named Samin Tan, and uncovered connections with PT MCM and PT AC. In connection with this, searches were conducted at 17 locations spread across DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Kalimantan, and South Kalimantan.
From the search results, a number of documents, electronic data, and heavy equipment suspected to be directly related to the case in question were also seized. Due to these actions, the state potentially suffers very significant losses, and this is currently still in the process of calculation by auditors.
The charged articles include Primary Article 603 jo. Article 20 letter A/C of Law No. 1 of 2023, Article 18 of the Corruption Crime Law, and Subsidiary Article 604 jo. Article 20 letter A/C of Law No. 1 of 2023 jo. Article 18 of the Corruption Crime Law jo. Article 618 of Law No. 1 of 2023.
To date, 25 witnesses have been examined, and coordination has been carried out with experts and auditors. In addition, asset tracing and account blocking have been carried out in the name of Samin Tan along with family and affiliated parties, as an effort to save state finances.
