Indonesia anti-corruption probes target fuel‑sale scheme and customs bribery case

Indonesia's police anti‑corruption unit (Kortastipidkor Polri) explained that four suspects in a fuel‑sale corruption case have not been detained because they remain cooperative and no investigative obstacles have arisen. The case concerns PT Pertamina Patra Niaga and PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup, which sold high‑speed diesel on a non‑cash basis between 2009 and 2012, resulting in a state loss of about US$30.4 million (≈Rp486 billion).

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has completed its investigation of a customs (Bea Cukai) bribery case and submitted the findings to its leadership. Officials await a decision on whether to expand the probe with additional suspects. The investigation uncovered alleged payments to Customs Director Djaka Budi Utama (S$213,600) and to customs official Ahmad Dedi (≈Rp30 billion), and also mentioned individuals from the Ministry of Trade and the Food and Drug Authority (BPOM).
