Politicization of Corruption Cases in the Police and Prosecutor's Office
The Attorney General's Office (AGO) and the National Police's investigations often end without resolution, with accusations of failing to expose the main culprits in corruption cases.
A recent corruption case involving Pertamina's crude oil management has reached the Jakarta Corruption Court. On October 13, 2025, prosecutors read indictments against four defendants, including Muhammad Kerry Adrianto Riza, son of oil magnate Mohammad Riza Chalid.
"The lease agreement did not meet the criteria for procurement through direct appointment,"
said prosecutor Triyana. The father and son were accused of pressuring Pertamina to lease a private fuel terminal through a direct appointment scheme. Although Riza Chalid was named in the indictment, little action has been taken since.
Key points:
- Corruption case involving Pertamina's crude oil management reached the Jakarta Corruption Court
- Four defendants, including Muhammad Kerry Adrianto Riza, were indicted
- Prosecutors accused the defendants of pressuring Pertamina to lease a private fuel terminal
Author's summary: Corruption cases often stall in Indonesia's police and prosecutor's office.
