The Attorney General's Office has revealed a case of alleged corruption related to oil management, involving a chief executive officer of a subsidiary of Pertamina, resulting in state losses amounting to nearly IDR 200 trillion.
"Several unlawful actions have led to financial losses to the state estimated at approximately IDR 193.7 trillion," stated Abdul Qohar, the Director of Investigation at the Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes, during a press conference at the Attorney General's building in Jakarta on the evening of February 24, 2025. The alleged misconduct was carried out by the management of Pertamina's subsidiary and the Contractual Work Cooperation Contractors (KKKS) from 2018 to 2023.

The suspects are accused of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 3 and Article 18 of Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning Corruption Crimes, along with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
