In addition, the KPK is also investigating the receipt of metric tons by the Regent of Kutai Kartanegara Rita Widyasari in every coal mining exploration process. This process will lead to the completion of the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU).

As for the money laundering case, Rita was named a suspect along with Commissioner of PT Media Bangun Bersama, Khairudin on January 16, 2018. Both were suspected of stealing money from the results of project and licensing gratuities at the Kutai Kartanegara Provincial Government worth Rp436 billion.

Rita is currently a resident of Pondok Bambu Women's Prison, East Jakarta because she was proven to have received gratuities of Rp. 110.7 billion and bribes of up to Rp. 6 billion from permit applicants and project partners. He had to serve a sentence of 10 years in prison which was handed down by the Jakarta Corruption Court on July 6, 2018.

To resolve this case, the anti-corruption commission has also confiscated hundreds of vehicles consisting of cars and motorbikes up to billions of rupiah. Forced efforts were made after investigators searched nine offices and 19 houses including coal entrepreneurs from East Kalimantan, Said Amin.
