Indonesia Summons Singapore Oil Traders in Pertamina Graft Probe
Indonesian investigators have asked Singapore-based oil traders to attend meetings in the city-state next week as part of a $12 billion corruption probe into state-owned oil firm PT Pertamina. The requests from the attorney general's office come after earlier notices were sent over the past month, seeking cooperation in the investigation into alleged corrupt practices at Pertamina. Previously, the AGO had asked the traders to attend in-person meetings in Jakarta, and also suggested the office of Singapore's Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau as a possible venue, without specifying a date.

Singapore traders drawn into Indonesia's US$12 billion Pertamina corruption probe
Indonesian authorities have contacted a number of Singapore-based trading companies to request their cooperation in a US$12 billion corruption inquiry involving state-owned oil giant PT Pertamina. The oil traders received notices earlier this month, asking them to assist the office of Indonesia's attorney general by answering questions on overall governance and past transactions, according to several people who were sent or saw the invitation. They asked not to be identified as they are not authorised to speak publicly. Earlier communication had sought to invite traders to Jakarta, but the people said the latest missive, sent from a Pertamina email address, specified interviews would be conducted at Singapore's Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, without confirming dates. There is no suggestion that those called to assist have been accused of any wrongdoing. Indonesian authorities arrested executives from Pertamina subsidiaries in February on accusations that they pushed refiners to import marked-up crude and oil products from abroad, causing state losses. More executives, including Nicke Widyawati, the company's former chief executive, have since been questioned in a widening investigation. President Prabowo Subianto has sought to strengthen his grip on Indonesia's state-owned enterprises since taking office last year. These – including Pertamina – have been consolidated into a new investment fund, Danantara, which reports directly to him. Shortly after his inauguration last year, Subianto also appointed a senior member of his political party to Pertamina's top role. A PT Pertamina worker climbs on a gauge at a crude oil well.
