TANJUNG SELOR - The investigation into the mining case in Nunukan Regency, which is handled by the North Kalimantan High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati), continues. In the latest development, the Special Criminal Investigation Team (Pidsus) of the North Kalimantan Prosecutor's Office examined national entrepreneur Karuna Murdaya (KM) as Director of Director of PT Central Cipta Murdaya (CMM) as well as President Director of PT Sebuku Inti Plantation (SIP).
The examination of the heads of companies owned by the families of billionaires Murdaya Poo and Siti Hartarti Murdaya was held at the Bundar Building of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (JAM Pidsus) of the Attorney General's Office in Jakarta, last week.
In addition, the investigation team also examined Raden Mas Aji (RMA) as the Director of PT Sebakis Inti Lestari (SIL) a palm oil plantation company in Sebakis Nunukan and Kali Raja Harahap (KRH) who served as the Head of Mine of PT CCM.
Kajati Kaltara, Yudi Indra Gunawan through the Head of the Legal Information Section (Kasipenkum), Andi Sugandi revealed that the examination was part of a series of in-depth mining cases that were being investigated by the Kejati Kaltara.
"The examination of the witnesses was carried out gradually, from June 8 to 12, 2026. For the Director of PT SIL (RMA), he was examined on Monday (8/6), followed by KRH on Thursday (11/6). Meanwhile, the KM fulfilled the investigator's call on Friday (12/6)," said Andi, Tuesday (23/6/2026)
"The investigation team, led by the Special Criminal Investigation Assistant (Aspidsus) of the North Sumatra Regional Attorney's Office, Samiaji Zakaria, also examined a number of ministry officials related to the licensing process," he continued.
Andi said the examination focused on the licensing mechanism for mining operations to shipping operations carried out by PT CCM over a period of 12 years or from 2013 to 2025.
"Witnesses are asked for information regarding the mechanism for mining operational permits to shipping operational permits carried out by PT CCM during the period from 2013 to 2025," said Andi.
Then, from the series of examinations, investigators also seized a number of documents that were considered relevant to uncover the matter being handled.
"From the witnesses who were examined, the investigators also seized several related documents to make this case clear," he explained.
Andi said that in addition to the company, investigators also scheduled an examination of representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the Ministry of Forestry, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Transportation. However, until the examination took place, only officials from the Ministry of Forestry and the Ministry of Environment fulfilled the investigator's call.
"Representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Ministry of Transportation have not been able to attend because they are still preparing the documents requested by investigators. Namely, related to archives and licensing data that require tracing back several years," he said.
He added, regarding the examination of the KM lasted quite a long time. On the day of the examination, the investigators asked for information for about five hours.
"About five hours because Friday is also cut off for Friday prayers and lunch," he said.
However, the Attorney General's Office of North Sumatra did not specify the number of questions that investigators asked Karuna Murdaya and other witnesses during the examination process.
He explained that until now the Pidsus Investigation Team of the North Sumatra Regional Attorney General's Office had examined at least 40 witnesses from companies, ministries, and other related parties.
"Investigators are still continuing to investigate the testimony of witnesses and analyzing the documents that have been obtained to uncover the full extent of the alleged violations in mining activities in Nunukan Regency," he concluded.
