Former Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), Dahlan Iskan, has been named a suspect, along with Nany Widjaja, a former director at Jawa Pos, by the East Java Police’s General Criminal Investigation Directorate in a case involving alleged document forgery and embezzlement.
A letter signed by Police Commissioner Arief Vidy, Head of Investigation Sub-Directorate I, the suspect status was established following a case review session conducted on July 2, 2025. The letter, dated Monday, July 7, 2025, states that the two individuals were upgraded from witnesses to suspects based on investigative findings.
The case stems from a police report filed by Rudy Ahmad Syafei Harahap on September 13, 2024, alleging violations including document forgery and/or embezzlement in public office, with possible ties to money laundering.
Dahlan Iskan is suspected of violating Article 263 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) on forgery, Article 374 in conjunction with Article 372 on embezzlement in public office, and Article 55 on criminal complicity.
As of this writing, no official public statement has been released by East Java Police regarding Dahlan’s status. East Java Police spokesperson Senior Commissioner Jules Abraham and Dahlan Iskan himself have yet to respond to requests for comment.
This case adds to the legal scrutiny surrounding several former high-ranking officials, drawing renewed attention to corporate governance and accountability in Indonesia’s media and business sectors.
