JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has examined around 60 witnesses related to the alleged corruption case at Pertamina Energy Trading Limited (Petral). Most recently, investigators have asked for information from former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Sudirman Said for the case.
"Almost 60 people more," said the Head of the Attorney General's Office for the Attorney General's Office, Anang Supriatna, at his office, Jakarta, Monday, January 19.
Anang confirmed that the witnesses included those who had been members of Petral. It is known that Petral has now been disbanded. However, he did not detail their identities.
Anang added that currently the calculation of state losses in the Petral case is being carried out. He has not detailed the range of alleged losses arising in the case.
"Wait for the audit results, but what is clear is that the potential is quite large," he concluded.
Previously, Sudirman Said admitted that the examination of him in the case was the second time. He admitted that he was asked for information about his capacity when he served as senior vice president of integrated supply shain (ISC) at Pertamina in the period 2008-2009 and the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources in the period 2014-2016.
Sudirman was reluctant to detail the details of his examination. He admitted that he conveyed the effort to improve the national energy sector from the practice of the oil and gas mafia. However, Sudirman admitted that he was hampered in carrying out this effort.
"In general, I explain it this way. Twice, I experienced obstacles because at the time the ISC unit was running, then there was a change in the Pertamina board of directors and the unit was paralyzed," said Sudirman at the Attorney General's Office Building, Jakarta, Monday (19/1/2026).
"As a result of the unit being disabled, there are practices like what you are witnessing now," he continued.
Sudirman admitted that a similar thing also happened when he served as Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. He admitted that he had tried to make improvements while holding that position. However, he only served for a relatively short time.
"Second, when I became Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, I also continued what was not completed at Pertamina, and not long ago I was arranging it, it happened that I graduated early. So I resigned as a minister in less than two years and the matter that arises now is also due to practices that were once wanted to be resolved but were not completed," said Sudirman.
On this occasion, Sudirman admitted that he had conveyed to investigators about what he had experienced and observed. He also admitted that he was grateful to be able to contribute to the law enforcement process carried out by the Attorney General's Office.
"Hopefully my statement will be beneficial and clarify everything," he concluded.
Previously, the Attorney General's Office said it was investigating the Petral crude oil case with a case time of 2008-2015, slightly longer than the KPK's coverage. The Attorney General's Office has coordinated with the KPK.
