JAKARTA, Legal Literacy – The Corruption Criminal Court (Tipikor) Central Jakarta District Court sentenced prison terms of 9 to 13 years to five defendants who were involved in the crude oil governance corruption case which caused state losses of trillions of rupiah. The panel of judges stated that the five were proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing corruption jointly in a trial that took place on Friday, February 27, 2026. This decision is part of the handling of a major case of crude oil and Pertamina refinery product corruption which since 2024–2025 has emerged as one of the biggest corruption scandals in the energy sector in Indonesia.

9–13 Years Imprisonment

The presiding judge Fajar Kusuma Aji delivered the verdict containing the sentences for the five defendants, including a fine of IDR 1 billion which must be paid within one month from the date the decision has permanent legal force or can be replaced with 190 days in prison. The punishment is adjusted to the role and involvement of each defendant in practices that harm the state.

The following are the details of the sentences imposed:

Sani Dinar Saifuddin — former Director of Feedstock and Product Optimization of PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional — was sentenced to 9 years in prison and a fine of IDR 1 billion.
