2. AGO Investigates Alleged Corruption in Telkomsel Investment in GoTo
The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has confirmed that it is currently investigating allegations of corruption in the investment of PT Telkomsel in PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GOTO). "It is still in the investigation stage, so it's still confidential," said the Head of the Attorney General's Office Legal Information Center, Anang Supriatna, via a WhatsApp message on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
Based on a memorandum from the Attorney General's Office dated March 2023, which was received by Tempo, prosecutors suspect unlawful actions in the investment. "Based on data analysis and information related to relevant regulations, there are alleged unlawful actions in Telkom's investment through PT Telkomsel in GoTo's stock purchase," reads the prosecutor's assessment.
The investment being investigated is Telkomsel's capital injection into GoTo during the 2020-2021 period. It began on November 16, 2020, when Telkomsel invested US$150 million in the form of interest-free convertible bonds in PT Aplikasi Karya Anak Bangsa (AKAB), the parent company of Gojek.
3. State Land Fraud Scheme Uncovered in Indonesia's Whoosh Rail Project
