Indonesia coal mining bribery investigation

Overview

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating alleged gratification involving coal production in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan. The investigation involves the former Regent of Kutai Kartanegara, Rita Widyasari, and suspected fund flows from the coal mining sector estimated at approximately 5 US dollars per metric ton.

Bebizie Sri Mulyati, a member of the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), was questioned as a witness regarding these allegations. While Bebizie previously claimed that funds received from PT Bara Kumala Sakti were professional singing fees earned from performances in East Kalimantan between 2017 and 2018, the KPK suspects the money flow is unrelated to her profession as an artist.

Bebizie reportedly acknowledged the funds and expressed a willingness to return them to the KPK, though the commission had not received the money as of mid-August 2026. The investigation also involves several corporations, including PT Sinar Kumala Naga, PT Alamjaya Bara Pratama, and PT Bara Kumala Sakti.
