JAKARTA - The Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) has again named a new suspect in the alleged bribery case against the Wilmar Group in the corruption case of cooking oil exports. This time, it was the turn of Head and Social Security Legal Wilmar Group, Muhammad Syafei (MSY), who was named a suspect.
"So tonight, we have named one suspect on behalf of MSY who is the Head of Social Security Legal Wilmar Group," said Director of Investigation (Dirdik) Jampidsus AGO, Abdul Qohar, at a press conference at the Attorney General's Office, Tuesday night, April 15, 2025.
MSY is suspected of violating a number of articles in Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption, including Article 6 Paragraph 1 letter a, Article 5 Paragraph 1, Article 13, and Article 18.
With this determination, the total number of suspects in the Wilmar Group's release verdict bribery case increased to eight people. Previously, seven people had been named as suspects, consisting of four judges, two lawyers, and one company administrator.
Not only did he name a new suspect, but the AGO also searched three locations in two provinces related to this case. From the results of the search, investigators confiscated various pieces of evidence, including documents, two Mercedes-Benz cars, one Honda CRV, and four Brompton folding bikes.

The search was carried out today, April 15, in three different locations. The investigation team also confiscated documents and luxury items," said Abdul Qohar.
This case stems from a meeting between Suspect AR and Suspect WG. At that time, WG asked that the ongoing cooking oil export case be handled. WG also asked about the costs that could be prepared by the corporate defendant.
The information was forwarded by AR to the suspect MS, who then met MSY at a restaurant in South Jakarta. There, MS said that WG could help manage the case. MSY responded that there was already a team to take care of it.
A few weeks later, WG again urged that the case be handled immediately. After receiving information on the cost of Rp. 20 billion from MSY, a number of meetings were held to discuss technical payments.
Dalam salah satu pertemuan lanjutan, Tersangka MAN menyebut bahwa perkara tidak bisa diputusan bebas, tapi bisa diutus ontslag (lepas dari tuntutan), dan meminta biaya dinaikkan menjadi Rp60 miliar.
MSY then agreed to provide funds in foreign currency. A few days later, he handed the money over to AR in the SCBD parking area. The money was then handed over to WG's house in North Jakarta, before finally being forwarded to MAN. WG itself received a "fee" of USD 50,000 from the transaction.
