Attorney General's Office Raids Several Offices in Connection with Samin Tan Case
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has carried out searches related to a suspected corruption case involving deviations and mismanagement in mining. In total, two offices—PT MCM and BBP—were visited by investigators.
“Raids were conducted at the MCM office located in Kaong Village, Upau Subdistrict, Tabalong Regency, South Kalimantan,” said Head of Public Relations for Special Crimes at Kejagung, Anang Supriatna, in Jakarta on Wednesday (8/4).
Anang stated that documents and company assets were seized by investigators in connection with the case ensnaring the founder of PT AKT, Samin Tan (ST). Additionally, 47 buildings and operational equipment from offices affiliated with PT ATK were also seized by investigators.
The founder of PT AKT, Samin Tan (ST), has been named a suspect in this case. Investigators have already detained Samin Tan for the initial 20 days.
In this case, Samin Tan, who is the beneficial owner of AKT, failed to fulfil his obligation to pay the fine demanded by the PKH Task Force for the misuse of mining land.
Samin Tan’s company held a coal mining concession agreement (PKPB2B) permit that expired in 2017. However, the company continued excavating the mining site until 2025.
These illegal activities were detected by the PKH Task Force, culminating in a demand for fine payments. Instead of paying, Samin Tan stubbornly attempted to deceive law enforcement by using invalid permit documents.
Kejagung suspects collaboration between Samin Tan and related officials who abused their authority to grant illegal mining permits. In this case, the state suffered losses of Rp4,248,751,390,842.
This case previously ensnared the conglomerate from Central Kalimantan, Samin Tan, as a suspect.
Kejagung has also opened the possibility of involvement by other parties in the case, including state officials.
