The details of the Rp 11.8 trillion seized by the Attorney General's Office from the corporate defendant in the CPO case.

Five corporations that are part of the Wilmar Group have handed over an amount of Rp 11.8 trillion to the Attorney General's Office as per the amount charged against them for the damage caused to the state.

The five corporations are namely PT Multimas Nabati Asahan, PT Multi Nabati Sulawesi, PT Sinar Alam Permai, PT Wilmar Bioenergi Indonesia, and PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia.

The refund is related to the case of suspected corruption in the provision of export facilities for crude palm oil (CPO). The Wilmar Group is one of the corporate defendants in this case.

"The defendant corporation returned a sum of money causing state losses some time ago. The total amount is as follows: the total loss that has occurred is Rp 11,880,351,802,619 [Rp 11.8 trillion]," said Sutikno, Director of Prosecution at the Attorney General's Office, in a press conference on Tuesday (17/6) yesterday.

The details of the money returned by each of the five corporations are as follows:

• PT Multimas Nabati Asahan amounting to Rp3,997,042,917,832.42;

• PT Multi Nabati Sulawesi amount is Rp39,756,429,964.94;

• PT Sinar Alam Permai amounting to IDR 483,961,045,417.33;

• PT Wilmar Bioenergi Indonesia in the amount of IDR 57,303,038,077.64; and

• PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia in the amount of IDR 7,302,288,371,326.78.

Sutikno mentioned that the Attorney General later seized an amount of money totaling Rp 11.8 trillion based on a Seizure Permit from the Chief of the Central Jakarta District Court dated June 4, 2025, with the reference number 40/Pid.Sus-TPK/2025/PN.Jkt.Pst.

"The seizure was carried out at the prosecution level based on the provisions of Article 39 paragraph 1 letter a juncto Article 38 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code for the purpose of examination at the cassation level," he explained.

Next, he said, the seized funds were submitted as additional cassation memory in response to the acquittal verdict handed down by the panel of judges at the Jakarta Corruption Court against the defendants. The Prosecution is currently appealing because the Jakarta Corruption Court acquitted the corporate defendants.

"Until then, its existence can be considered by the Supreme Court Judge examining the cassation, specifically regarding the money to be compensated to cover all state losses caused by the corruption acts committed by the corporate defendants," he said.

Request Two Other Corporate Groups to Quickly Compensate State Losses

After the seizures of five corporations that are part of the Wilmar Group, the Attorney General's Office also urged two other corporate defendants in the CPO case to return the state losses imposed on them.

In the CPO case, there are three corporate defendants charged by the Attorney General's Office. They are the Wilmar Group, Musim Mas Group, and Permata Hijau Group. Until now, only the Wilmar Group has returned the money, amounting to Rp 11.8 trillion.

"The losses to the national treasury caused by the corrupt actions of five groups from Wilmar have now been fully returned," explained Sutikno.

Sutikno also requested that the other two corporate defendants immediately return the amount of money charged to him for the damage caused to the state.

For the Musim Mas Group, which is Rp 4,890,938,943,794.1 or Rp 4.89 trillion. Meanwhile, the Permata Hijau Group is Rp 937,558,181,691.26 or Rp 937.5 billion.

"For Permata Hijau and Musim Mas Group, we hope that in the future they will also pay as done by Wilmar. We will also release it like when there is a refund made by both groups," said Sutikno.

"They are in the process, we hope they will return it intact as well," he concluded.

CPO Case

The case began when the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested five people. They are former Director General of Foreign Trade at the Ministry of Trade, Indra Sari Wisnu Wardhana; former Commissioner of PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia Master, Parulian Tumanggor; former Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs at PT Victorindo Alamlestari, Stanley MA; former General Manager (GM) of Affairs at PT Musim Mas, Pierre Togar Sitanggang; and Assistant to the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Weibinanto Halimdjati alias Lin Che Wei.

Weibinanto was referred to as indiscriminately granting export permits to several exporters. To facilitate his actions, Weibinanto collaborated with Indra Sari and benefited several parties. They were later declared guilty by the Judge of the Jakarta Corruption Court.

The case then developed and involved three groups of oil corporations, namely the Wilmar Group, Permata Hijau Group, and Musim Mas Group.

During the trial, the three groups were declared guilty. However, the judge stated that the corporate actions were not considered a criminal offense. Thus, they were acquitted by the panel of judges.

Previously in their indictment, the Prosecution demanded that the defendants pay a certain amount of fines and substitute money.

The defendant from PT Wilmar Group is demanded to pay a fine of IDR 1 billion and substitute money of IDR 11,880,351,802,619. If it is not paid, the assets of PT Wilmar Group Director, Tenang Parulian, can be seized and auctioned. If it is insufficient, Tenang is subject to a prison sentence of 19 years as a substitute punishment.

Next, Permata Hijau Group is being sued to pay a fine of Rp 1 billion and compensation money of Rp 937,558,181,691.26. If it is not paid, assets of five corporations under the Permata Hijau Group, David Virgo, can be seized and auctioned. If insufficient, he will face a prison sentence of 12 months as a substitute.

The defendant from Musim Mas Group is demanded to pay a fine of IDR 1 billion and substitute money of IDR 4,890,938,943,794.1.

If not paid, the assets of PT Musim Mas Group CEO Gunawan Siregar and several corporate controllers under the Musim Mas Group may be seized and auctioned. If insufficient, they will each receive a prison sentence of 15 years as a subsidy.

As a result of the acquittal, the Attorney General's Office subsequently filed a cassation to the Supreme Court. Later, the Attorney General's Office detected indications of bribery behind that acquittal decision. In the investigation of that case, eight suspects have already been charged by the investigators from the Attorney General's Office.

For the suspects from the bribe-givers' side, namely two lawyers Ariyanto Bakri and Marcella Santoso, as well as from the legal team of the Wilmar Group, Muhammad Syafei.

Meanwhile, for the bribe recipients, there are five suspects namely Muhammad Arif Nuryanta (former Deputy Head of the Central Jakarta District Court) and Wahyu Gunawan (former Assistant Judge of the Central Jakarta District Court), as well as the panel of judges who heard the corporation accused of CPO: Djuyamto, Agam Syarif, and Ali Muhtarom.
