Indonesia Seizes US$725 Million From Wilmar Group in Palm Oil Graft Case

  • On June 17, Indonesian authorities confiscated a total of 11.8 trillion rupiah from Wilmar Group amid investigations into corrupt practices involving palm oil export permits.
  • The seizure comes amid investigations into allegations that Wilmar, along with a pair of other palm oil producers, bribed officials in 2022 to secure export permits during a period of national cooking oil scarcity.
  • Wilmar, one of the largest palm oil producers with two-thirds of plantations in Indonesia, has maintained compliance with regulations and denies any corrupt intent.
  • A senior official from the Attorney General's Office stated at a press conference that Wilmar had compensated for the financial damages incurred by the state, while Wilmar confirmed it provided the funds as a security deposit.
  • The case is under Indonesian Supreme Court review, where Wilmar may reclaim the funds if acquitted, but will forfeit them if found guilty, while associated judges and employees were arrested in April.
