Although public attention is no longer as intense as it was at the beginning, the investigation and inquisition into the case of alleged corruption related to the illegal tin mining in the IUP area owned by PT Timah Tbk (TINS) continues. Among the dozens of suspects, we know that the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) also named Hendry Lie, founder of Sriwijaya Air, as a suspect. Hendry was questioned as a witness in February 2024, but since then he has not been in Indonesia. Hendry also never answered the summons from the AGO until he was named a suspect in April 2024. Interestingly, Hendry decided to return to Indonesia this week and the AGO was happy to pick him up at the airport. Separately, trial of the former government officials will end soon as the prosecutors read their demands during the latest hearing.To subscribe please click here
