JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) immediately detained the Commissioner of PT Sepiak Jaya Kaltim, Rudy Ong Chandra tonight. The forced effort was made after the suspect in the alleged corruption of mining business licensing (IUP) in the East Kalimantan Provincial Government was forcibly picked up.
"Furthermore, the ROC suspect will be detained for the first 20 days starting from August 21 to September 9, 2025," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, August 21 evening.
"Detention is carried out at the KPK branch detention center in the Red and White building," he continued.
From field observations, Rudy Ong arrived at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at around 21.36 WIB. He was accompanied by a number of KPK employees.
When he got out of the KPK car, Rudy Ong seemed to hold someone's hand in front of him. His face looked confused when he was about to enter the building.

Not long after, Rudy then hid behind the person so that his face would not be highlighted by the media crew. The businessman's hands were handcuffed.
Rudy has actually been summoned on Monday, June 23 and Tuesday, July 29. However, Rudy Ong, who is also a representative of PT Cahaya Bara East Kalimantan, PT Bunga Jadi Lestari and PT Anugerah Pancaran Bulan, and the 5 percent shareholder of PT Tara Indonusa Coal, was not present.
As for this case, the KPK named two other people as suspects. They are the Governor of East Kalimantan for the period 2008-2013 and 2013-2018 Awang Faroek Ishak and the Chairman of the East Kalimantan Chamber of Commerce and Industry who is the daughter of Awang Faroek, Dayang Donna Walfiaries Tania.
However, the KPK has issued an Investigation Termination Order (SP3) for the Awang Faroek case. Because, he died some time ago.
