Fugitive Suspect: Attorney General's Office to Seize Riza Chalid's Assets!

The Attorney General’s Office will target assets owned by Mohammad Riza Chalid (MRC). Most recently, Kejagung has named Riza Chalid as a suspect in the corruption case concerning the procurement of crude oil and refinery products at Pertamina Energy Trading Limited (Petral) for the period 2008-2015.

The Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes at the Attorney General’s Office, Febrie Adriansyah, revealed that with this new suspect designation, Riza Chalid’s assets will be pursued.

“Now the focus is on Interpol. That’s the position. But with this new suspect designation, everything develops; at the very least, the assets are being pursued,” said Febrie at the Kejagung office in South Jakarta on Friday (10/4/2026).

However, when asked about Riza Chalid’s last known location, Febrie declined to disclose it. “Oh, don’t reveal it, or he might run again, but the position is currently here,” said Febrie.

To date, Riza Chalid’s whereabouts remain unknown. Nevertheless, the Attorney General’s Office officially added Riza Chalid to the Most Wanted List (DPO) on 19 August 2025.

The last known sighting, according to Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services (Imipas) Agus Andrianto, indicated that Riza Chalid was monitored ‘hiding’ in a neighbouring country, namely Malaysia.

Previously, the designation in Riza Chalid’s case was announced by the Director of Investigation for the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, during a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office headquarters in South Jakarta on Thursday night (9/4/2026).

Syarief announced that seven suspects have been named in this alleged corruption case involving the procurement of crude oil and refinery products at Petral for the 2008-2015 period, one of whom is Mohammad Riza Chalid.

According to him, the investigative team found facts of misconduct involving the leakage of confidential internal information from Pertamina Energy Services (PES) regarding crude oil and gasoline (gasoline) needs, as well as other information, carried out by one of the suspects.

“Then, another suspect, namely MRC (Mohammad Riza Chalid), as the beneficial owner (BO) of several companies along with suspect IRW through several of his companies or affiliated companies, has influenced the procurement process or tender for crude oil, refinery products, and transportation,” said Syarief.

As is known, Riza Chalid himself had previously been designated as a suspect in the alleged corruption case of crude oil governance for the 2018-2023 period. Riza Chalid was named a suspect on 10 July 2025. With this new case designation, it means that Riza Chalid is now ensnared in two cases as a suspect.
