Indonesia Detains Three in Pertamina Gas Station Digitalization Corruption Case

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained three individuals suspected of involvement in a corruption scheme related to the digitalization of state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina's gas stations. The alleged corruption occurred between 2018 and 2023.

The suspects are identified as Dian Rachmawan, former Director of Enterprise & Business Service at PT Telkom for the 2017-2019 period; Weriza, former Senior General Manager of Strategic Sourcing Operation Procurement at PT Telkom for the 2012-2020 period; and Elvizar, a former PT Telkom employee and owner of PT Pasifik Cipta Solusi (PT PCS).

According to the KPK, the alleged corruption in the procurement project for the digitalization of Pertamina's gas stations has resulted in substantial financial losses for the state, estimated at Rp322.18 billion (approximately $20 million USD).

The KPK is continuing its investigation into the flow of funds and the potential involvement of other parties in this project. The detained suspects were escorted to a detention vehicle after undergoing examinations at the KPK's Red and White Building in Jakarta.
