Samin Tan, owner of PT Borneo Lumbung Energi & Metal Tbk (formerly BORN), was named a suspect of bribery by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) over two years ago. Samin was investigated after the KPK looked into the allegations of corruption related to the construction of the Riau Power Plant; a case that ensnared conglomerate Johannes Kotjo and former Minister of Social Affairs Idrus Marham (Golkar).
