JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Forestry Area Regulation Task Force (Satgas PKH) Barita Simanjuntak said that the designation of the suspect ST (Samin Tan) by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) in the alleged case of corruption in the management of PT AKT mining irregularities, was a warning for other parties.
According to him, companies that have been summoned by the PKH Task Force need to settle their obligations to the state, in accordance with the Presidential Regulation Number 5 of 2025 concerning forest discipline.
"If there is bad faith, of course the state instrument will work to ensure compliance with the regulation is implemented, obeyed by anyone in our legal state," said Barita at a press conference announcing the suspect ST, quoted by Antara at the Attorney General's Office, Jakarta, Saturday, March 28, early morning.
He said that the determination of the suspect ST by the Attorney General's Office was part of the consistency of the PKH Task Force to ensure the enforcement of the law in the enforcement activities.
Furthermore, he said, investigators are authorized to develop cases that trap ST, including finding other parties suspected of being involved and related to the legal construction according to the evidence in the investigation.
For this reason, he also appreciated the performance of the Attorney General's Office in uncovering the case that ensnared ST.
According to him, the PKH Task Force also in January 2026 had regained control of the forest managed by PT AKT.
"We have given advice, warnings, and the task force also according to its authority to coordinate and convey to law enforcement officers who are also in the task force, for law enforcement measures," he said.
Previously, the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) named a suspect in the alleged corruption case of irregularities in mining management with the initials ST as the beneficial owner or manager of PT AKT, which has been operating illegally from 2017 to 2025.
Director of Investigation of the Attorney General's Office for Special Criminal Affairs (Jampidsus) Kejagung Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi explained that PT AKT which is a coal miner based on PKP2B, has been revoked in 2017. However, he said, the mining company is still operating illegally or illegally.
"PT AKT still continues to illegally and illegally mine and sell the results of the mine until 2025," said Syarief.
