Audit Brokers Demand Rp 1.6 Billion from Muara Enim Regency to Manipulate BPK Report

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named five individuals as suspects in a case of alleged bribery involving the Muara Enim Regency administration and the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). The KPK revealed that intermediaries demanded Rp 1.6 billion to alter audit findings. This was disclosed by KPK Director of Investigation Achmad Taufik Husein during a press conference at the KPK building in South Jakarta on Thursday (11/6/2026). He explained the case originated from BPK’s findings on the Muara Enim Regency’s financial report. “Based on the BPK examination, audit results were found exceeding the materiality threshold in the financial audit report (LHP) of Muara Enim Regency,” Taufik stated. In May 2026, Muara Enim Regent Edison instructed the Assistant for Economic Affairs and Development, Rusdi Hairullah, to handle the BPK audit report through a private individual named Augusz Dewanggara, also known as Angga (AGG). Taufik said Rusdi ordered the Secretary of the Education and Culture Office, Abi Nurwardani, to meet Angga through an intermediary named Mulyono. During that meeting, Abi and Angga negotiated a fee to alter the BPK audit findings. “AGG then communicated that the fee required to change the audit results was around Rp 1.6 billion, to be taken from 1 per cent of the infrastructure works budget ceiling or 2 per cent of the procurement budget ceiling of the Muara Enim Regency administration,” Taufik explained. After reaching an agreement, Angga assembled a team to arrange the manipulation of the audit results. He subsequently contacted Titin Rita Lestari, a civil servant acting as a technical controller, to alter the BPK audit findings. “ABN (Abi) prepared the requested sum of money, including receiving funds from Ms FK (Fika), a private party and Director of PT MSA, through CRH (Cory), a provider for the smart board project procurement within the Muara Enim Education and Culture Office,” he said. In short, Abi allegedly received Rp 500 million. He then distributed the money, giving Rp 100 million to Angga and Rp 100 million to Mulyono. “Meanwhile, approximately Rp 300 million was delivered by ABN to South Sumatra, part of which was intended for EDS (Edison). In addition to these receipts, AGG is also previously alleged to have received Rp 50 million from ABN. The KPK will conduct further tracing of these fund flows,” Taufik added. The KPK has seized a number of pieces of evidence, including documents, vehicles, electronic evidence, and Rp 200 million in cash from Angga and Mulyono. The KPK also named five suspects: 1. Angga, a private party; 2. Titin Rita Lestari, a civil servant and Technical Controller; 3. Edison, Regent of Muara Enim; 4. Cory Erin Hardi, marketing representative of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi; 5. Fika, Director of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi. Angga and Titin are charged under Article 12 a or b, or Article 11 of the Corruption Eradication Law and/or Article 606 paragraph (2) of Law Number 1 of 2026 on Criminal Adjustments in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, Edison, Cory, and Fika are charged under Article 605 letter a and/or letter b of Law Number 1 of 2026 on Criminal Adjustments and/or Article 606 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2026 on Criminal Adjustments in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code.
