Bareskrim Names Six Suspects in Deed Forgery Case, Two Chinese Nationals
The Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) has uncovered an alleged criminal case of authentic deed forgery related to the change of management composition at PT Alam Raya Abadi (ARA). Six individuals have been named as suspects.
“Based on the investigation facts supported by four pieces of evidence, including witness statements, expert testimony, documents, and physical evidence, the case review forum agreed to elevate the status of six people to suspects,” said Brigadier General Ade Safri Simanjuntak, Director of Special Economic Crimes at Bareskrim, in a statement on Thursday (13/8/2026).
The six suspects are LX (President Director of PT ARA following the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders), GG alias M (the proxy holder authorised by LX to conduct the meeting), ARH (Director following the meeting), SAO (Director following the meeting), CJ (Commissioner following the meeting), and LMT (a Notary). It is known that LX and GG are Chinese nationals.
“Suspect LX is currently on the wanted list in an embezzlement and/or embezzlement in office case being handled by investigators from the North Maluku Regional Police’s General Criminal Investigation Directorate,” Ade explained.
The suspects allegedly forged authentic deeds by falsifying the Minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders dated 1 March 2025 along with Deed of Amendment Number 58 dated 25 March 2025, as well as the Minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders dated 26 March 2025 along with Deed Number 1 dated 9 April 2025.
“These deeds altered the composition of the Board of Directors and Commissioners of PT ARA,” Ade stated.
Meanwhile, the five other suspects have been arrested by investigators. The most recent arrest was the forced apprehension of GG in Bali on 12 August 2026.
The five suspects have been handed over to the public prosecutor. Investigators seized a number of pieces of evidence, including documents related to the creation of the deeds and several PT Alam Raya Abadi documents confiscated from Ikmal Yasir.
“For the five suspects, namely GG alias M, ARH, SAO, CJ, and LMT, coordination has been carried out with the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections for a 20-day travel ban,” he clarified.
Ade stated that investigators from the Special Economic Crimes Directorate at Bareskrim ensured the entire inquiry and investigation process of the case was conducted professionally, transparently, and accountably.
“Supervision, audit, clarification, and case review mechanisms for the handling of the case have been carried out by the internal oversight functions of the National Police, including the Police General Supervision Inspectorate, the Bareskrim Investigation Supervision Bureau, and the Bareskrim Criminal Investigation Consultation Service Centre,” he added.
