The investigation into the case of alleged corruption related to the tin trading system carried out in the Mining Business License (IUP) area owned by PT Timah Tbk (TINS) initially started as an ordinary routine. We all know that the mining sector is prone to corruption. But as the investigation went on and the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) finally found sufficient evidence, we learned that the scheme was supposedly created by the former President Director of PT Timah, Mochtar Riza Pahlevi Tabrani. That said, this is not an ordinary cas. With Riza’s help, dozens of puppet companies were allowed to operate on PT Timah operational area including other areas with no permit or license. By this week the AGO had named 11 suspects in two different cases and recently announced that the case supposedly caused ecological losses amounted to over Rp270 trillion. How could this happen?
