Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating allegations that the Pemuda Pancasila (PP) paramilitary organization received structured monthly payments linked to the extensive money laundering case of former Kutai Kartanegara Regent Rita Widyasari.

“We are currently tracing the flow of funds derived from coal production fees, which allegedly flowed hierarchically through the organization’s structure in East Kalimantan where the suspect's companies operated,” said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu  on Thursday (12/3/2026), as quoted by antaranews.com.

KPK has questioned PP Chairperson Japto Soerjosoemarno regarding security services provided to mining firms involved in the scandal. Investigators are scrutinizing "fees" of up to $5 per metric ton of coal allegedly collected by three recently named corporate suspects: PT Sinar Kumala Naga, PT Alamjaya Barapratama, and PT Bara Kumala Sakti.

To date, the KPK has seized 91 vehicles, luxury watches, and significant land assets related to Widyasari’s alleged graft and money laundering activities. KPK are now focusing on whether these monthly organizational payments constitute a systematic method of concealing illicit gratifications under the guise of professional security fees.
