Indonesian police are collaborating with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate three significant corruption cases. These probes involve alleged corruption, bribery, and money laundering related to coal procurement and the Asabri state insurance company.

During a press conference at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, officials from the KPK were initially present, indicated by nameplates for Deputy for Corruption Eradication and Deputy for Enforcement. However, they were removed before the conference began and did not participate in the briefing.

Jakarta Police spokesperson Kombes Budi Hermanto stated that the KPK's presence was for coordination purposes between law enforcement agencies. He confirmed that joint investigators from the Jakarta Metropolitan Police and the National Police's Directorate of Corruption Crimes are continuing their work. Hermanto assured that suspects would be announced in a subsequent phase, urging respect for the ongoing investigation.

Previously, the Head of the National Police's Directorate of Corruption Crimes, Irjen Totok Suharyanto, outlined three cases under joint investigation: the PLN BB case, the Asabri case (2020-2025), and a case involving the settlement of PT CBS's debt to PT KNI (a subsidiary of Krakatau Steel) from 2020-2025. Searches have been conducted at 13 locations, yielding evidence such as cash in various currencies and tens of kilograms of gold bars.
