Riza Chalid Oil Corruption Case: Attorney General's Office Secures Luxury Car Keys and Seizes Land in South Jakarta

Jakarta - Investigators from the Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes (JAM PIDSUS) have again seized assets suspected of belonging to Mohamad Riza Chalid (MRC).

This seizure relates to an alleged corruption case involving the management of crude oil and refinery products at PT Pertamina (Persero) and its subsidiaries.

This time, the Investigative Team from the Special Task Force for Handling and Settlement of Corruption Crimes (Satgassus P3TPK) of JAM PIDSUS seized a plot of land and buildings suspected of being the proceeds and/or means of a crime.

The Head of the Attorney General's Office's Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum), Anang Supriatna, explained that the seizure was carried out in an alleged Money Laundering (TPPU) case, with the predicate crime being corruption in the management of crude oil and refinery products at PT Pertamina (Persero) Sub-Holding and Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) from 2012 to 2023.

"The confiscated assets consist of a plot of land and a building measuring 557 square meters on Jalan Hang Lekir XI, Block H/2, Gunung Village, Kebayoran Baru District, South Jakarta," said Anang in an official statement on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

The land and building are registered under Ownership Certificate (SHM) Number 1635 in the name of Kanesa Ilona Riza, the daughter of suspect MRC.

These confiscated assets will be used as evidence in the alleged money laundering (TPPU) case related to the corruption case in the management of crude oil and Pertamina's refinery products.

Since being named a suspect, investigators from the Special Crimes Investigation Unit (JAM PIDSUS) have conducted a series of seizures of assets suspected of being linked to MRC.

In early August 2025, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) confiscated five luxury cars and cash in rupiah and foreign currencies strongly suspected of being related to the case.

The five luxury vehicles confiscated from MRC affiliates included a Toyota Alphard, a Mini Cooper, and three Mercedes-Benz sedans.

The seizures were carried out following searches at three different locations: Depok, Pondok Indah, and Tegal Parang Utara.

In addition, investigators also confiscated cash in various currencies, the exact value of which is still awaiting official calculations from the banks.

According to the Head of the Center for Legal Information, all of the confiscated luxury cars were found without license plates, a suspected attempt to conceal ownership.

However, after inspection, investigators confirmed that the vehicles belonged to an MRC affiliate.

"Investigators have obtained all the keys, and they match, and they have been taken," said Anang.

The Attorney General's Office emphasized that this asset confiscation effort is part of the investigation and recovery of state losses in the alleged corruption case involving the management of crude oil and refinery products at PT Pertamina and its subsidiaries, which occurred between 2012 and 2023.
