Indonesia's Attorney General named four suspects in a cooking-oil export-permit graft case, among them Master Parulian Tumanggor, a commissioner of Wilmar's unit Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, and the trade ministry's foreign-trade chief.

Prosecutors named Wilmar Group, Permata Hijau Group and Musim Mas Group corporate suspects, saying the final ruling against their executives showed the companies caused Rp 6.47 trillion in state losses.

Prosecutors named the three judges who cleared Wilmar, Musim Mas and Permata Hijau as bribery suspects, alleging Rp 60 billion was arranged through lawyers and a court clerk to buy the verdict.

Prosecutors displayed stacks of cash from Rp 11.88 trillion (about US$729 million) handed over by five Wilmar subsidiaries, the biggest seizure in the AGO's history, while their appeal against Wilmar's acquittal was pending.

With President Prabowo Subianto watching in front of about Rp 2 trillion in stacked banknotes, the Attorney General handed Rp 13.255 trillion recovered from Wilmar, Musim Mas and Permata Hijau to the finance minister.

On appeal, the Jakarta High Court raised the sentence of Wilmar's former legal head Muhammad Syafei from six to eight years and his fine to Rp 500 million for helping bribe the judges who acquitted Wilmar.

Prosecutors detained former Ombudsman member Yeka Hendra Fatika, accusing him of rewriting a 2022 cooking-oil report into ammunition for the palm oil companies' defence and of taking money from Wilmar Group.
