The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has seized a 2022 Lamborghini Huracan in connection with the alleged corruption of mining business permits (IUP) for PT QSS in West Kalimantan, involving suspect Sudianto, also known as Aseng. The car was hidden in an alley, and its keys were discarded in a drain.

“During a search within the West Kalimantan legal jurisdiction, the investigative team discovered assets belonging to suspect SDT, alias Aseng, including several vehicles, one of which is a 2022 Lamborghini Huracan, which had previously been hidden in an alley with its keys thrown into a ditch,” said the Head of Public Relations at the Attorney General’s Office, Anang Supriatna, in a written statement on Friday (3/7/2026).

The seizure took place during searches conducted by the Attorney General’s team between 11–16 June 2026. He noted that the seizure was carried out because the assets are suspected to be the proceeds of criminal activity.

“This search and seizure were conducted as part of an effort to recover assets suspected to be the results of criminal acts committed by suspect SDT, alias Aseng, or his affiliates,” said Anang.

Investigators also searched the residence of an affiliated party, suspect AP, who serves as the Director of PT QSS. From that location, the investigative team discovered a stockpile of precious metals.

“Investigators also seized eight bars of gold bullion with a total weight of 8 kilograms,” Anang stated.

The details of the assets seized by investigators include:

• 1 unit of a 2022 Lamborghini Huracan

• 1 unit of a Fortuner VRZ

• 1 unit of a Toyota Camry

• 46 dump trucks

• 10 excavators

• 2 bulldozers

• 3 Triton operational vehicles

• 4 plots of land and buildings in Pontianak

• 2 vacant plots of land in Pontianak

• 8 kilograms of gold bullion.

Background of the Case

The case began when PT QSS, which operates in the bauxite mining sector, was acquired by suspect Sudianto (SDT) alongside YA. Despite holding official permits for a specific area, PT QSS was found to be conducting mining activities outside of their permitted mining area (IUP).

The illegally obtained mining results were subsequently sold and exported using official PT QSS documents, such as the IUP-OP, work plans and budgets (RKAB), and export approval recommendations.

“The fact is, bauxite mining activities were not conducted within the PT QSS IUP area, yet they continued to sell bauxite obtained illegally from outside the permitted area,” explained the Head of Public Relations, Anang Supriatna, in his statement on Saturday (23/5).

Anang revealed allegations of bribery in the processing of these documents. Suspect IA is alleged to have communicated and provided funds to a state official, HSFD, who serves as an analyst at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).

In total, five suspects have been named in this case:

  1. Sudianto (SDT), alias Aseng, as the Beneficial Owner of PT QSS;

  2. YA, as the Commissioner of PT QSS;

  3. IA, as the Licensing Consultant for PT QSS and Director of PT BMU;

  4. HSFD, as a Mining Analyst at the Directorate of Mineral Business Development, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources;

  5. AP, as the Director of PT QSS.
