TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The alleged corruption in the crude oil procurement at Pertamina Energy Trading Limited, or Petral, has drawn the attention of both the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Attorney General’s Office (AGO). Both institutions are now probing the case. Both institutions are investigating the case and pursuing the same target: fugitive oil trader Mohammad Riza Chalid.
The KPK announced its investigation on Monday, November 3, 2025. The investigation order had been signed on October 17. The agency suspects corruption at the former Pertamina subsidiary occurred between 2009 and 2015.
Meanwhile, the AGO also announced a Petral corruption probe on Thursday, November 6, covering the period from 2008 to 2015. Prosecutors issued their investigation order on Thursday, October 30. “This case grew out of the corruption investigation into crude oil governance from 2018 to 2023,” said the Anang Supriatna, Chief of AGO’s Legal Information Center. After its dissolution in 2015, Petral was reborn as Pertamina Energy Services Pte. Ltd., or PES.
Although the KPK moved first, the AGO appears to be advancing its probe more aggressively. Prosecutors have questioned roughly 20 witnesses. One of those summoned for Monday, November 10, was Chrisna Damayanto, Petral Commissioner from 2012 to 2015.
