Summary

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested Samin Tan, the coal and mining company PT Borneo Lumbung Energy & Metal Tbk owner. Samin went fugitive in May 2020 for an alleged bribery case against a House of Representatives member (DPR), Eni Maulani Saragih. "The KPK investigative team succeeded in arresting him in Jakarta," KPK Acting Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said on Monday (4/5).

KPK made Samin a suspect in Rp 5 billion bribes to Eni, who served as Deputy Chair of the House's 7th Commission in 2017. Samin asked Eni to help revoke the Coal Mining Exploitation Work Agreement (PKP2B) contract cancellation for PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup (AKT), a Borneo Lumbung Energi's subsidiary. Eni was asked to lobby and pressure Ignasius Jonan, who was then Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). When he became a suspect in this case on February 1, 2019, Samin always avoided the KPK summons and went fugitive later.
