JAKARTA - The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has raided 14 locations related to allegations of corruption in the management of the PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT) mine in Murung Raya, Central Kalimantan, during the period 2016–2025, with Samin Tan (ST) as the suspect.

Head of the Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) of Kejagung, Anang Supriatna, stated that the raids were carried out by the investigative team from the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus).

“The investigative team from the Gedung Bundar has conducted several search and seizure operations at various locations. These include areas in West Java, DKI Jakarta, Central Kalimantan, and South Kalimantan,” Anang said when met at Kejagung in Jakarta on Monday (30/3/2026).

In detail, out of the total 14 locations raided, 10 are in DKI Jakarta and West Java.

These locations include the office of PT AKT, the office of PT MCM affiliated with PT AKT or suspect Samin Tan, as well as the personal residence of the suspect and several witnesses.

Additionally, three locations are in Central Kalimantan, namely the office of PT AKT, the office of the Port Authority and Harbour Master’s Office (KSOP), and the office of mining contractor PT ARTH.

“And in South Kalimantan Province, located at the office of PT MCM. These are some companies that are still suspected to be owned by Mr ST,” Anang explained.

Previously reported, the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) named Samin Tan (ST) as a suspect in the alleged corruption of PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT) mining management in Murung Raya, Central Kalimantan, for the period 2016–2025.

“The investigative team has named suspect ST,” said Head of the Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) of Kejagung, Anang Supriatna, on Saturday (28/3/2026) in the early hours.

In the case construction, ST is known as the beneficial owner of PT AKT, a coal mining company that previously operated under a Coal Mining Business Work Agreement (PKP2B).

“The mining business licence of PT AKT was revoked in 2017. However, after the revocation of the permit, PT AKT is alleged to have continued mining activities and the illegal sale of mining products until 2025,” he explained.

Through PT AKT and its affiliated companies, ST is alleged to have conducted mining and coal sales activities using invalid licensing documents.

“These activities are alleged to have been carried out in collaboration with state officials who have authority in supervising mining activities,” he stated.

“The suspect is charged with violating Articles 603 and 604 of the Criminal Code,” he revealed.
