Jakarta, Xweb.biz.id – Suparta, the CEO of PT Refined Bangka Tin (RBT), has passed away on Monday, April 28, 2025, at RSUD Cibinong in West Java. The news was confirmed by Harli Siregar, the Head of the Legal Information Center at the Attorney General’s Office (Kejaksaan Agung), who stated that Suparta passed away at 18:05 WIB.

“Yes, it is true. Suparta passed away on Monday, April 28, 2025, at around 18:05 WIB at RSUD Cibinong,” Harli Siregar said in a statement on Monday evening.

Background of Suparta’s Legal Case

Before his passing, Suparta was convicted in a major corruption case involving the management of tin commodity trading. He was initially sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the corruption case. However, following an appeal in the Jakarta High Court, his sentence was increased to 19 years in prison. In addition to the prison sentence, Suparta was also ordered to pay restitution amounting to Rp 4.57 trillion (approximately USD 300 million) as compensation for the state’s losses caused by the corruption.

Failure to pay the restitution would result in an additional 10 years of prison time. The large sum of restitution highlighted the severity of the financial damage caused by the corruption case, which involved illegal practices in the tin trade industry.

Impact on PT Refined Bangka Tin (RBT)

Suparta’s death raises questions about the future of PT Refined Bangka Tin (RBT), the company he led. At this time, there is no official statement on how the company will proceed following his passing. It is expected that the company will appoint a new management team to ensure the continuity of its operations.

Corruption Case and Its Aftermath

The corruption case surrounding Suparta has garnered significant attention due to its scale and the involvement of high-ranking officials in the tin industry. The case has underscored the need for greater transparency and oversight in the management of valuable natural resources, such as tin, which are crucial to Indonesia’s economy.

As the case is part of a larger effort by Indonesian authorities to combat corruption, Suparta’s conviction and subsequent passing mark the end of a controversial chapter in the country’s business and legal landscape.

The death of Suparta brings closure to his legal battle, but it also raises important questions about corporate governance and corruption in Indonesia. His case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of financial misconduct, and the government’s commitment to holding individuals accountable for actions that harm the nation’s economy.

It remains to be seen how PT Refined Bangka Tin (RBT) will navigate its future without its CEO at the helm, but the legal case that led to his conviction will likely continue to shape discussions about corporate integrity and governance in the years to come.
