This matter began when Suranto, as the Head of the ESDM Babel at that time, approved the illegal Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) for the period 2015-2019 concerning 5 (five) smelters. The 5 companies are PT Refined Bangka Tin along with its affiliated companies, CV Venus Inti Perkasa along with its affiliated companies, PT Sariwiguna Binasentosa along with its affiliated companies, PT Stanindo Inti Perkasa along with its affiliated companies, and PT Tinindo Internusa along with its affiliated companies.

The five companies that were granted their IUP are merely a formality aimed at accommodating and managing tin ore illegally in the IUP area of PT Timah. The five companies mentioned by the prosecutor are PT Refined Bangka Tin, CV Venus Inti Perkasa, PT Sariwiguna Binasentosa, PT Stanindo Inti Perkasa, and PT Tinindo Internusa. Each of these five companies has its affiliates.

"As a result, the five companies have the freedom to engage in illegal mining and conduct transactions. Meanwhile, PT Timah, which holds the IUP, should not be purchasing tin ore from the aforementioned five companies. 'This results in environmental damage both within the forest area and outside the forest area within the IUP region of PT Timah, Tbk, in the form of ecological loss, economic loss to the environment, and environmental recovery,' said the Prosecutor."

The act, said the prosecutor, was an effort to enrich oneself, others, or a corporation. "Engaging in acts that enrich oneself or others or a corporation, Harvey Moeis and Helena Lim at least Rp420,000,000,000.00," revealed the Prosecutor.
