The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating a graft case involving officials at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.
“The indication [of graft] is clear,” deputy KPK chief M. Jasin said on the sidelines of a seminar on crimes in the forestry sector Tuesday.
Jasin refused to go into details but said the alleged corruption took place between 2007 and 2009.
“Johan Budi will announce our move to probe into the graft case as soon as possible,” Jasin told Antara news agency, referring to the KPK spokesman.
The KPK has also launched a probe into alleged bribery involving senior officials at the ministry and the state oil and gas company Pertamina.
The probe followed a British court’s verdict, which fined British company Innospec Ltd 8.3 million pounds (US$12.6 million) after finding it guilty of bribing a former director general for oil and gas and Pertamina’s deputy president director between 2000 and 2006 to help sell its tetraethyl lead used to boost the octane value of gasoline in Indonesia.
The KPK has banned six officials from traveling overseas in connection with the bribery case.
