These include external engagements, \"revolving doors\", insider trading, family\u002Fpersonal relationships and gifts\u002Fentertainment.\n\nBy using this guidance to improve their systems and processes for managing conflicts of interest, Indonesian institutions can better prevent corrupt practices such as collusion and nepotism from undermining their operations and integrity.\n\nThe guidance is tailored to Indonesia’s specific legal framework, institutional context and historical efforts to prevent and combat corruption.\n\n### Acknowledgements and disclaimer\n\nThe development of these guidelines was led by the Basel Institute on Governance, in cooperation with KEMITRAAN, Indonesia Corruption Watch and Transparency International Indonesia.

Paper 53: Good governance and the just transition: Implications for renewable energy companies",2673,2024,"There is broad agreement that ensuring a just energy transition is key for achieving the trust and support from citizens needed to succeed with the green transition and the COP28 goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030.\n\nThis paper discusses the concept of a just transition, with a particular focus on the importance of achieving a transition that benefits both local communities and society at large. It examines the governance and corruption challenges that could jeopardise this goal and discusses how industry associations and companies in the renewable energy sector could step up its efforts to address these challenges to realise the ambition of a just transition.\n\nThe paper draws on lessons from the experience of tackling governance and corruption risks in the extractive sector and sets out proposals on how to accelerate collective action in the renewable energy sector. \n\n### About this report\n\nThis is a guest Working Paper of the Basel Institute on Governance, ISSN: 2624-9650.

economic actors, especially in the extractive and energy sectors.\n\nThe reliance on fossil fuel industries for political financing and the monopolistic nature of state-owned entities further complicate the shift to a low- or no-carbon system, despite the country's ambitious renewable energy targets.\n\nPotential pathways to greater anti-corruption resilience lie in improvements to beneficial ownership transparency and strengthening regulation, monitoring and sanctioning of conflict of interest

manipulation.\n- Progress in renewable energy uptake is slowed by the enduring influence and interests of fossil fuel incumbents who benefit from subsidies that keep coal an artificially cheap and

This  power  was  previously  limited  to investigators of traditional law enforcement agencies, including the police and the Corruption Eradication Commission.\n- → Training  and  technical  assistance  by  the  Green Corruption  programme  of  the  Basel  Institute  on Governance contributed to strengthening law\n\n- enforcement capacities to effectively handle money laundering cases and track illicit financial flows tied to environmental crimes.\n- → Sustained coordination and collaboration among the Ministry, Indonesia's Financial Intelligence Unit and the Attorney General's Office were pivotal in applying the follow-the-money approach to the illegal logging case.\n- → Businessman  Supono  was  convicted  initially  of illegally trading rosewood and later of laundering approximately USD 127,000 he had obtained through log  trading.  In  both  cases,  he  was  sentenced  to prison and ordered to pay a fine.\n- → Although the amount of money laundered in this case and the imposed fines were relatively modest, the case set a precedent for integrating financial crime investigations into environmental enforcement. This paves the way for future, larger-scale prosecutions by investigators of environmental agencies.\n\n## The case\n\n- 1. In 2021, investigators at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry started investigating indications of illegal logging in Alas Purwo National Park in Banyuwangi, East Java. National Park staff had caught a transporter carrying illegally logged rosewood (sonokeling) .\n- 2 . The  investigation  began  with  an  effort  to  identify who  was  benefiting  from  the  illegal  activities.  A businessman named Supono was later identified as the beneficiary. He was the person who orchestrated the transport of the rosewood logs.\n- 3. In 2022, the Banyuwangi District Court convicted Supono of intentionally transporting and owning forest products (logs of 31 rosewood trees sourced from Alas Purwo National Park) without permit. 2 The Court sentenced Supono to two years in prison and a fine of IDR 500 million (approx. USD 29,900). This first case was pursued purely on the basis of forestry crime charges.\n- 4. The Ministry's investigators continued to pursue the case using a follow-the-money approach to trace the proceeds of the crime. They applied this approach in close collaboration with the Financial Intelligent Unit (PPATK), which contributed key information, and in coordination with the Attorney General's Office. The financial investigation revealed:\n- a. Supono carried out suspicious financial transactions with two sawmill companies, PT Aji Sono and PT Amruu. His later statement during the court  proceedings  disclosed  that  the  logs  he was  trading  with  these  two  companies  were sourced not only from Alas Purwo National Park, but also from other locations, including Lampung, Sulawesi and Sumbawa.\n- b. Between 2020 and 2022, Supono gained approximately USD 127,000 from trading logs with PT Aji Sono (IDR 1,454,440,000) and PT Amruu (IDR 670,980,800).\n\n- c. To conceal the origins of the illegal proceeds, the  two  companies  transferred  the  money for their log purchases to the bank account of Supono's son, which was effectively controlled by Supono himself.\n- d. Supono then moved the money from his son's bank  account  to  his  own  account  in  smaller transactions, both via direct transfer and via cash withdrawal and manual deposits.\n- e. Supono integrated the proceeds of crime with money  he  had  loaned  from  the  bank  in  2020 (when he had no specific need for a bank loan). He then used the illicit funds to pay back the loan. He used this 'loan-back' method to disguise the proceeds of crime as legitimate money from the bank and other unrelated business activities.\n- f. Among other things, Supono used the money from the logging business to buy land.\n- 5. In 2024,  the  Banyuwangi  District  Court  issued its decision No. 11\u002FPid.Sus\u002F2024\u002FPN Byw 3  declaring Supono  guilty  of  money  laundering.  The  Court sentenced  Supono  to  one  year  and  three  months in  prison  and  a  fine  of  IDR  50  million  (approx. USD 3,000). The proceeds of the crime as such were not recovered.\n\nThe illegal logging and money laundering scheme uncovered by investigators of Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry.\n\n\u003C!-- image -->\n\n## Legal background\n\n- · In  2010,  Indonesia  enacted  the  new  AntiMoney Laundering Law No. 8\u002F2010. 4 It provides  a legal  framework  for  tracing  and prosecuting illicit financial flows, including those  linked  to  environmental  crimes .  This marked a major step towards integrating  financial investigation tools into law enforcement efforts against  money  laundering.  However,  initially, only investigators of traditional law enforcement authorities  were  authorised  to  use  this  law, including from police, the Attorney General's Office, the Corruption Eradication Commission, the National Narcotics Agency, the tax authority and customs.\n- · A  landmark  decision  came  in  2021  when the  Constitutional  Court  issued  its  Decision\n\nNo. 15\u002FPUU-XIX\u002F2021. 5 This authorised investigators in charge of predicate offences, including from natural resources and environmental  authorities,  to  investigate not only environmental  crimes  such  as timber trafficking but also the related money laundering offences .\n\n- · The  Ministry  of  Environment  and  Forestry initiated  several strategic  actions  to  utilise its expanded powers . For example, it reached an  agreement  with  the  Indonesian  Financial Intelligence Unit to develop a joint investigation team. The Ministry also set its investigators the target of handling environmental cases using a  follow-the-money  approach,  and  started collaborating with the Attorney General's Office.\n\n## What can we learn from this case?\n\n## Laws and their interpretation are important….\n\nThe Constitutional Court's 2021 Decision is an important example of how a legal framework can be interpreted to  maximise its effectiveness in practice. In this case, the decision granted investigators from environmental agencies - in addition to investigators from traditional law enforcement agencies - the legal authority to pursue money laundering offences linked to environmental crimes.\n\nIt  empowered investigators to expand their scope and approach, laying the groundwork for more comprehensive enforcement in the future.\n\n## … but using laws in practice requires training and 'learning by doing'\n\nDespite their new powers, the investigators still faced difficulties in tracing illicit financial flows and understanding complex financial transactions linked to environmental crimes. They lacked knowledge and practice in gathering financial intelligence, using investigative technology and cooperating with other agencies domestically or abroad.\n\nOngoing training in financial analysis and intelligence gathering can equip investigators with the necessary skills, tools and networks to tackle money laundering activities, including those linked to environmental crimes.\n\nA  'learning  by  doing'  approach  helps  -  i.e.  applying new skills in realistic case investigations, together with counterparts from other agencies.\n\n## The value of hands-on, inter-agency training\n\nAs part of an Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) Challenge  Fund  project, 6   the  Green  Corruption team of  the  Basel  Institute  on  Governance  has trained Indonesian law enforcement agencies to effectively  handle  money  laundering  cases  and track illicit financial flows tied to illegal logging and wildlife-related crimes with the follow-themoney approach.\n\nThe training brought together investigators and prosecutors  from  key  government  agencies, including from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Attorney General's Office and Financial Intelligence Unit. Participants formed inter-agency groups and collaborated on a realistic case scenario, with each person contributing based on their respective role. The training used practical tools and exercises to explain how criminals conceal money and other assets through shell companies, business fronts, real estate investments and tax havens.\n\nBesides training, the Basel Institute also supported the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in developing  guidelines  to  handle  money  laundering cases,  providing  technical  knowledge  on  the investigation process.\n\nIt  was  just  a  few  months  after  the  training  that the Ministry's investigators, in collaboration with the  Attorney  General's  Office  and  the  Financial Intelligence Unit, achieved their first successful convictions for money laundering related to forest crimes.\n\n## Real cases - even when modest - can have a big impact\n\nThis case set a precedent for integrating financial crime investigations into environmental crime cases.\n\nEven  though  the  amount  of  money  laundered  in  this particular case was relatively low - and the fines Supono was sentenced to pay were a small fraction of that amount - the case has opened the door to tackling more complex, high-value cases in the future.\n\nThis first case also played an important role in helping the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's investigators to:\n\n- · shift their perspective from investigating illegal logging crimes only to handling money laundering offences; and\n- · move  from  a  general  understanding  of  money laundering in theory to handling real-life cases in practice.\n\nWhile training and guidelines were necessary to support the process, the real case itself served as a critical opportunity to identify both obstacles and solutions in applying the follow-the-money approach.\n\n## Both leaders and frontline investigators need to take action\n\nEvery natural resource trafficking case has a potential for exploring money laundering due to the amount of money involved in this type of crime.\n\nA  successful  investigation  requires  initiative from investigators and support from decision-makers. In this case of illegal logging in Alas Purwo National Park:\n\n- · The Ministry of Environment and Forestry's Director General and Director of Investigation encouraged investigators to adopt the follow-the-money approach.\n- · At the technical level, investigators put this encouragement  into  action,  demonstrating  their commitment  to  following  the  money  in  existing predicate crime cases.\n\n## Inter-agency collaboration is vital\n\nCoordination between the relevant agencies from the outset of the investigation has been pivotal to concluding the case successfully. The mutual understanding between counterparts from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Attorney General's Office and Financial Intelligence Unit provided a strong foundation for the enforcement process.\n\n## Keywords\n\n\u003C!-- image -->\n\nIndonesia\n\nEnvironmental crimes\n\nIllegal logging\n\nMoney laundering\n\nFinancial investigation\n\n## About this Case Study\n\nThis publication is part of the Basel Institute on Governance Case Study series, ISSN 2813-3900.

This power was previously limited to investigators of traditional law enforcement agencies, including the police and the Corruption Eradication Commission.\n- Training and technical assistance by the Green Corruption programme of the Basel Institute on Governance contributed to strengthening law enforcement capacities to effectively handle money laundering cases and track illicit financial flows tied to environmental crimes.\n- Sustained coordination and collaboration among the Ministry, Indonesia’s Financial Intelligence Unit and the Attorney General’s Office were pivotal in applying the follow-the-money approach to the illegal logging case.\n- Businessman Supono was convicted initially of illegally trading rosewood and later of laundering approximately USD 127,000 he had obtained through log trading. In both cases, he was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay a fine.\n- Although the amount of money laundered in this case and the imposed fines were relatively modest, the case set a precedent for integrating financial crime investigations into environmental enforcement. This paves the way for future, larger-scale prosecutions by investigators of environmental agencies.","\u002Fresources\u002Fpublications\u002Fcs-12",1780676525597]
