Prosecutors have asked a panel of judges to find three corporate defendants guilty of corruption in the management of TaniHub's investment funds from 2019 to 2023. The companies implicated are PT Tani Group Indonesia, PT TaniHub Indonesia, and PT Tani Supply Indonesia.
During the trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, prosecutor Dicky Haris stated that the corporations intentionally aided criminal acts, causing substantial state losses of $25 million, equivalent to over 364 billion Indonesian rupiah. The prosecution is seeking a fine of 1 billion rupiah for each corporation. Should they fail to pay, the prosecutor requested the court allow the seizure and auction of their assets or income to cover the fines.
Furthermore, the prosecution is demanding additional restitution payments to the state. PT Tani Group Indonesia faces a restitution order of 23.094 billion rupiah, PT TaniHub Indonesia of 261.520 billion rupiah, and PT Tani Supply Indonesia of 75.228 billion rupiah. These charges are based on violations of Indonesia's Criminal Code and anti-corruption laws.
This corporate prosecution follows the sentencing of six individuals on June 18, 2026. Among them, former PT Metra Digital Investama executives Donald Surjana Wihardja and Aldi Adrian Hartanto received prison sentences of five years and two years, respectively. Former PT BRI Venture executives Nicko Widjaja and William Gozali were sentenced to three years and two years in prison. Ivan Arie Sustiawan, former CEO of PT Tani Group Indonesia, received the harshest sentence of nine years imprisonment, a 1 billion rupiah fine, and ordered to pay 3.26 billion rupiah in restitution.
