Police Anti-Corruption Unit Names Three Suspects in Coal Investment Corruption Case

The Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipikor) of the Indonesian National Police has named three suspects in a case of alleged corruption involving investment in a company related to coal procurement for PLN Batu Bara (PLNBB). Kortas Tipikor stated that the suspects have been detained.

“Investigators have detained two suspects, namely IT, an Investment Manager at PT Perusahaan Pengelola Aset (Persero), and FSN, the Head of Operational Division at PT Bintang Abadi Sempurna. Meanwhile, suspect FH, a Director of PT Bintang Abadi Sempurna, is currently serving a sentence in another case at Salemba Prison,” said Head of Operations for Kortas Tipikor Polri, Commissioner Ahmad Yusuf Afandi, during a press conference at the Kortas Tipikor office in Jakarta on Monday (20/7/2026).

He stated that the case file has been declared complete. The detention was carried out as the police prepare to transfer the suspects to the public prosecutor.

He explained that PT Bintang Abadi Sempurna (BAS) received a financing facility of Rp 50 billion from PT PPA. However, in practice, the disbursed funds reached Rp 67.31 billion through eight separate disbursements.

Investigators discovered several irregularities in the case, including the absence of verification to PLN Batu Bara and a lack of verification of the authenticity of documents.

“Based on the investigative audit report on state financial losses by the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK RI), the actions of the suspects resulted in state financial losses amounting to Rp 38.9 billion,” he said.
