Silfester Matutina was dismissed from his position as Independent Commissioner at PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim on September 23, 2026, after serving only five days in the role. The dismissal followed public scrutiny regarding his legal status. According to the Attorney General's Office, Matutina is a fugitive facing a 1.5-year prison sentence for defamation following a final Supreme Court decision.

The company stated the removal was decided by shareholders through standard corporate mechanisms to strengthen good corporate governance. 

Following the dismissal, the Attorney General's Office noted that the execution of Matutina’s sentence falls under the authority of the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office. The delay in executing the 18-month sentence, which has been legally binding since 2019, has led to criticism from the Indonesian Institute for Law Oversight, Guarding, and Enforcement (LP3HI). The organization suggested the failure to carry out the sentence across multiple leadership changes indicates an “institutional failure” within the Prosecutor's Office.
