JAKARTA — Fauzan Fadel Muhammad has come under public and business community scrutiny following a Supreme Court of Indonesia ruling upholding a finding of breach of contract in a business capital loan dispute. The cassation ruling is documented under Case No. 2344 K/PDT/2026, decided on June 8, 2026.
According to records from the Case Tracking System (SIPP) of the South Jakarta District Court, the dispute originated from a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by Rosalina, a national automotive manufacturing entrepreneur.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court confirmed Fauzan Fadel Muhammad’s liability for breach of contract and ordered him to settle all obligations to the plaintiff in a single cash payment.
The debt obligations include: Principal Loan of Rp1,500,000,000; Interest of Rp292,500,000; and Penalties of Rp292,500,000 — bringing the total payable amount to Rp2,085,000,000.
Petrus Bala Pattyona, S.H., M.H., CLA, legal counsel for Rosalina, stated that his client had sought resolution since 2022 through persuasion, including formal demands and negotiations, before resorting to legal channels.
“With this cassation ruling, we call on Mr. Fauzan Fadel Muhammad to immediately comply with the court decision and pay all obligations in full and in one lump sum to Mrs. Rosalina,” Petrus stated in Jakarta on Friday (7/8/2026).
Beyond the civil dispute, Fauzan Fadel Muhammad is also linked to allegations of embezzlement in office, reported to the South Jakarta Metropolitan Police. According to Dimas Adi Prayudi, Commissioner of PT Gema Maritim Energi, the report concerns the alleged misuse of company assets and funds during Fauzan’s tenure as President Director.
The filing details alleged misuse of business capital financing, transfer of corporate funds to personal accounts, conversion of company asset ownership to private property, and unauthorized use of company funds for investments inconsistent with corporate objectives — including involvement in Robot Trading, a fraudulent investment scheme.
Legal representatives noted these actions violate directors’ fiduciary duties under Article 97(2) of the Limited Liability Company Law. They emphasized that the conduct caused company losses and appears contrary to principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG).
Petrus expressed appreciation to the Supreme Court, the Indonesian National Police — particularly South Jakarta Metro Police — and all parties processing the case in accordance with applicable law.
PT Gema Maritim Energi (GME) is a fully domestic firm engaged in trade of goods and services, mining, energy, and infrastructure. It has participated in reclamation works at the GRR Tuban Oil Refinery in partnership with PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (a sub-holding of PT Pertamina Persero), a National Strategic Project (PSN), and holds a 997-hectare Mining Business Permit (IUP). The company has received support from relevant ministries for its strategic projects.
Fauzan Fadel Muhammad, GME’s President Director, is also a Golkar Party politician, a former legislative candidate in 2024, and holds active roles in national business organizations: Central Board (BPP) HIPMI, Vice Chairman of KADIN Gorontalo and HIPPI DKI Jakarta, Chairman of the National Entrepreneurs Volunteer Corps (REPNAS) Jakarta, as well as being an alumnus of Al-Azhar Islamic School (ASIA) and ITB.
He is also the son of prominent public figure Fadel Muhammad — former Governor of Gorontalo, Minister under President SBY, leader of House of Representatives Commission, MPR (2019–2024), and DPD RI (2024–2029) — whose tenure saw the alleged violations occur.
Reports indicate that beyond his directorship at PT Gema Maritim Energi, Fauzan holds interests in several enterprises, a political career, and serves as Expert Staff in state-owned enterprise (BUMN) bodies. Scrutiny has intensified following the embezzlement report filed during his leadership at GME.
Investigative findings strongly suggest irregularities: misuse of company assets including land and buildings (certified by SHM), and diversion of funds intended for corporate operations for personal gain.
Commissioner Dimas Adi Prayudi, represented by the law firm of Petrus Bala Pattyona, S.H., M.H., & Associates, filed the criminal report.
The case has raised public concerns regarding corporate governance, credibility, accountability, and transparency — critical to maintaining business integrity in Indonesia. The broader implications of the breach of contract and related allegations are under close public observation.
“In light of these developments, we express profound appreciation and highest respect to President Prabowo Subianto, the judicial institutions — notably the Supreme Court — and the Indonesian National Police, particularly South Jakarta Metro Police, for their handling of the cassation ruling and related matters. The state must not tolerate conduct harming the public and business sector; firm sanctions are needed to deter future offenses,” Petrus Bala Pattyona, S.H., M.H., CLA, emphasized.
