Bareskrim Uncovers Alleged Palm Oil Export Manipulation as Offices and Warehouses Raided

The Directorate of Specific Criminal Acts (Dittipidter) of Bareskrim Polri is investigating allegations of palm oil export data manipulation or under-invoicing practices. During the case handling, police have conducted raids on a palm oil exporting company, as revealed by Subdirector 1 of Dittipidter Bareskrim Polri, Senior Commissioner of Police Setyo K. Heriyatno. ‘The investigation team from Subdirector 1 of Dittipidter Bareskrim Polri conducted a search at PT MMS’s office located on Ampera IV Street, Pademangan, North Jakarta,’ he said on Saturday, 30 May 2026. The authorities also searched the company’s warehouse in the Laksana industrial area, Pakuhaji, Tangerang Regency, Banten, on Thursday, 28 May 2026. During the searches, investigators seized several pieces of evidence allegedly linked to the company’s export activities, including company documents, invoices, Export Declaration Forms (PEB), and several computer CPUs. He stated that the searches were conducted to investigate allegations of export data manipulation aimed at reducing the actual value of exported palm oil products, known as under-invoicing. Such practices are suspected to cause state losses as reported export transaction values do not match the actual conditions. Currently, investigators are still examining all secured documents and evidence. ‘We are still reviewing the documents found during the raids to uncover the alleged criminal activities,’ he said. He also confirmed that investigators would trace those suspected of involvement in the export data manipulation. ‘We will determine who is responsible for this case and ensure the legal process is carried out professionally,’ he added.
