Three Corporations Face Rp 359.9 Billion Demand in TaniHub Corruption Case
Three corporate defendants in the alleged corruption case involving investments from PT BVI and PT MDI Ventures into the startup TaniHub have been ordered to pay fines of Rp 1 billion each. Prosecutors also demanded the companies pay a total of Rp 359.9 billion in restitution. The sentencing hearing took place at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Monday (6 July 2026). The three corporations are PT Tani Group Indonesia (PT TGI), PT Tani Hub Indonesia (PT THI), and PT Tani Supply Indonesia (PT TSI).
Prosecutor Dicky Haris stated that the three corporate defendants had been legally and convincingly proven guilty of jointly committing corruption. He asserted that there were no justifiable or excusable reasons to absolve the defendants of criminal responsibility, emphasising that the acts were carried out consciously and deliberately. The prosecution highlighted that the defendants’ actions did not support the government’s programme to eradicate corruption, collusion, and nepotism, and resulted in state financial losses amounting to USD 25 million, equivalent to Rp 364.2 billion.
The three corporations were found to have violated Article 603 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law, in conjunction with Article 618 in conjunction with Article 20 letter C of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. The specific demands for each corporation are a fine of Rp 1 billion and restitution of Rp 23.094 billion for PT Tani Group Indonesia; a fine of Rp 1 billion and restitution of Rp 261.5 billion for PT Tani Hub Indonesia; and a fine of Rp 1 billion and restitution of Rp 75.2 billion for PT Tani Supply Indonesia.
Six individual defendants had previously been sentenced in the same case, with the court confirming the state loss of USD 25 million. The sentences handed down included three years’ imprisonment for Nicko Widjaja, two years for William Gozali, nine years for Ivan Arie Sustiawan, seven years for Edison TPL Tobing, two years for Aldi Adrian Hartanto, and five years for Donald Surjana Wihardja, along with various fines and restitution orders.
