Recently, PT Patra Logistik, part of Subholding Commercial & Trading of PT Pertamina (Persero), was sued by one of its business partners, PT Putra Patra Utama (PT PPU). PT PPU claimed that Patra Logistik had neglected to fulfill its payment obligations to the company. However, this case attracted attention not because it involved a subsidiary of a State-owned enterprise but because one of the newly appointed directors of Patra Logistik, amidst all the negative sentiment regarding political dynasties, is the nephew of President Joko “Jokowi” Jokowi.

In September 2024 a PKPU lawsuit was filed against PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk (ADHI). The plaintiffs are one Machfud Suroso and PT Dutasari Citralaras. Machfud is identified as the company’s president director. At first glance, there is nothing strange about this lawsuit, but PT Dutasari Citralaras is a familiar name. One of the company’s directors was said to be an influential party in uncovering the corruption scandal of the Hambalang project, but was later imprisoned on suspicion of tax evasion. Towards the end of last week, the lawsuit was rejected.
