A month has passed since the Food Task Force (Satgas Pangan) raided the warehouse owned by PT Indo Beras Unggul (IBU) in Bekasi on suspicion of fraud. The National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim) named a suspect on August 2, 2017, but afterwards we didn’t hear much. Until on August 25, 2017, when the Bareskrim held a case reconstruction and said they would soon name a new suspect. We are still waiting for updates. Beyond the progress on the case, the Permendag No. 47/M-DAG/PER/7/2017 (which was a central piece of the rice mixing case) was cancelled only a few days after the case was made public and the Ministry of Trade has come up with a new regulation on the selling price for three types of rice.
