The public prosecutor charged Sentot Ismudiyanto Kuncoro, Syahbandar of Kayangan Port, of accepting bribes for the issuance of a sailing agreement (SPB) which became a condition for the shipment of iron sand mining material belonging to PT Anugrah Mitra Graha (AMG). SPB was issued without any approval from the relevant government agencies and proof of payment of PNBP royalties. "It turned out that this was driven by a motivation in the form of money, where the defendant also received the flow of funds from the sale of the iron sand," said Fajar Alamsyah Malo representing the public prosecutor reading out Sentot's indictment before the Corruption Court Judges at the Mataram District Court, as reported by Antara, Thursday, January 31. The flow of funds originating from the sale of PT AMG's iron sand, continued the prosecutor, flowed to the defendant's account but was not directly received from Rinus Adam Wakum, as Branch Head of PT AMG East Lombok. The defendant received a flow of funds from the account of another defendant Suharmaji who received a transfer from Rinus Adam Wakum. Suharmaji in this case is a guard officer who served under the order of the defendant at the Lombok Labuhan Class III Port Organizing Unit Office. Apart from Suharmaji, the defendant also received a flow of funds from Rosmawati, Suharmaji's wife, on a regular basis in 13 shipments of PT AMG periods, carrying out shipments of mining materials in 2021-2022 through transfer of funds with a total value of Rp137 million. In the description of the indictment, the prosecutor said the defendant ordered the duty officer to issue SPB of PT AMG mining materials 32 times in the 2021-2022 period using a statement letter from the NTB ESDM Service as a complete requirement. "In fact, the application for issuance of SPB for mineral and coal materials must be accompanied by RKAB approval from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia in accordance with Article 8 paragraph (2) letter b of the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number: PM.82 of 2014 concerning Procedures for Issuing Sailing Approval.

With this description of the indictment, the prosecutor charged Sentot with Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code and/or Article 5 paragraph (2) and/or Article 11 and/or Article 12 letter a and/or letter b of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 jo. Article 65 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
