Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Following a closed-door meeting with the House of Representatives (DPR) on Wednesday (5/3/2025), the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, urged the public not to abandon state-owned energy company PT Pertamina (Persero) amid an ongoing corruption probe.

“We urge people to continue supporting Pertamina because we must stand by our own products,” he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

The investigation focuses on alleged irregularities in crude oil and refinery product management at PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, a PT Pertamina’s subholding and its contractors from 2018 to 2023. The case involves the blending of RON 90 and RON 92 fuels, which were then sold as RON 92 fuel.

Deputy Attorney General Febrie confirmed that the fuel adulteration affected Pertamina’s product specifications until 2023. 

However, he assured that PT Pertamina’s current products comply with established standards. 

The Deputy Attorney General emphasized that the probe aims to strengthen Pertamina’s governance, ensuring better operations in the future, particularly as fuel demand rises ahead of Eid travel.
