Apart from these two people, the KPK also investigated a private employee, namely Andreay Hasudungan Aritonang. He will also be examined as a witness for businessmen who were included in the KPK's wanted list (DPO).

Not yet known the examination material of the three. However, these witnesses are suspected of knowing about the arrangement for the termination of PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup's Coal Mining Exploitation Work Agreement (PKP2B) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Previously reported, Samin Tan had been arrested by the KPK since he was fugitive in 2020. In this case, the businessman allegedly paid Rp 5 billion to the deputy chairman of Commission VII DPR RI Eni Maulani Saragih to deal with the termination of PT AKT's PKP2B which was acquired by PT BORN at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

At that time, Eni agreed to Samin Tan's request. Furthermore, as a member of the Minerba Committee at Commission VII DPR RI, this Golkar Party politician used a hearing meeting forum to influence the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Not only that, he is also suspected of asking Samin Tan for a sum of money for the Pilkada needs of her husband, Muhammad Al Khadziq in Temanggung Regency. The giving took place in two stages through Samin Tan's staff and Eni's experts.

The first stage giving was carried out on June 1, 2018, amounting to IDR 4 billion and the second giving occurred on June 22, 2018 amounting to IDR 1 billion.

For his actions, Samin Tan is suspected of violating Article 5 Paragraph (1) letter a or Article 13 of Law Number 31 Year 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 Year 2001 Concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 64 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
