PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama named suspect in nickel corruption case
The Indonesian Attorney General's Office (Kejaksaan Agung) has uncovered a corruption scheme involving nickel governance that has caused an estimated Rp401.65 billion in state losses. The investigation has led to the designation of PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama (CNI) as a corporate suspect.
Key suspects include five individuals: former Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Secretary General Mochamad Teguh Pamudji, who was forcibly arrested in Purbalingga; BS, a former Director of Mineral Business Development at the Ministry; NRH, a former Sucofindo unit head in Kendari; and MHI, a former official at the Southeast Sulawesi ESDM Office. One additional suspect has yet to be apprehended.
The alleged scheme involved several fraudulent activities, including the manipulation of nickel grade test results, exporting nickel without fulfilling Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) requirements, and issuing export recommendations without the necessary Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) approvals. Investigators have seized 143 documents and examined over 100 witnesses as part of the ongoing probe.
