TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former president director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Galaila Karen Kardinah, better known as Karen Agustiawan, was questioned for nearly 10 hours at the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) on Tuesday, April 22 at around 8:59 p.m. Her questioning was in connection with a corruption case involving crude oil and refinery product governance in Pertamina’s sub-holdings from 2018 to 2023.
Karen arrived at the Kartika Building of the Attorney General’s Office at 10:56 a.m. “Ask the investigators,” she told reporters who approached her upon exiting.
Karen is already serving a 13-year prison sentence and was fined Rp650 million in a separate corruption case involving the procurement of liquefied natural gas (LNG), investigated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The Supreme Court upheld her conviction in a February 2025 ruling.
In the ongoing oil governance case, the AGO has named nine suspects. They include Riva Siahaan, president director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga; Sani Dinar Saifuddin, director of feedstock and product optimization at PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional; and Yoki Firnandi, president director of PT Pertamina International Shipping.
Also charged are Agus Purwono, VP of feedstock management at PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional; Muhammad Kerry Andrianto Riza, beneficial owner of PT Navigator Khatulistiwa; Dimas Werhaspati, commissioner of both PT Navigator Khatulistiwa and PT Jenggala Maritim; and Ramadhan Joedo, commissioner of PT Jenggala Maritim and president director of PT Orbit Terminal MerakGading.
The list also includes Maya Kusmaya, director of central marketing and commerce at PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, and Edward Corne, VP of trading operations at the same company. State losses in the case are estimated at Rp193.7 trillion.
