KPK Confiscates Rp100.7 Billion In Connection With Allegations Of Metal Anode Corruption From Siman Bahar Suspect

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated hundreds of billions of rupiah from Siman Bahar, who is a suspect in the alleged corruption of the Metal Anode processing cooperation between PT Antam and PT Loco Montrado in 2017.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the confiscation was carried out on Monday, August 4. The party representing Siman Bahar deposited money into the KPK holding account.

"KPK confiscated Rp100.7 billion in cash related to the alleged corruption case in the metal anode processing cooperation between PT Antam and PT Loco Montrado," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, August 5.

Budi said that the money had an allegation that it came from the corrupt practices being handled. Thus, the KPK carried out the confiscation.

"The confiscation was carried out from the suspect SB as the President Director of PT Loco Montrado," he said.

On that occasion, Budi also agreed that Siman Bahar was again named a suspect after winning a pretrial lawsuit.

He is known to have been questioned by investigators in May 2025. However, Siman was not present at the anti-corruption commission office but was visited by investigators at a hospital in the Gading Serpong area, Tangerang.

Siman is said to be in an unhealthy condition because he has to undergo dialysis.

Previously reported, the KPK has named two people as suspects in the case of corruption in the metal anode processing cooperation between PT Aneka Tambang (Antam) Tbk and PT Loco Montrado. They are Siman Bahar and Dodi Marniki (DM) as General Manager of the PT Antam Processing Unit.

Dodi has now been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison. Meanwhile, Siman Bahar has not been detained due to his health condition.

The status of the suspect Siman Bahar had died after the South Jakarta Court Judge (PN Jaksel) granted the pretrial lawsuit he filed. However, the KPK again named Siman Bahar as a suspect for the second time.
