The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has seized evidence totalling Rp200 million in cash and one car in connection with an alleged bribery case involving the conditioning of a Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) audit on the Muara Enim Regency Government, South Sumatra, for the 2025 fiscal year.

‘The KPK team, in a covert investigation yesterday, also secured evidence in the form of Rp100 million in cash from AGG, Rp100 million in cash from MYN, a four-wheeled vehicle, as well as other documents and electronic evidence,’ said Acting Director of Investigation at the KPK Achmad Taufik Husein at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Thursday, 11 June 2026.

Taufik further explained that AGG is a private party who has been named a suspect in the case, identified as Augusz Dewanggara. Meanwhile, MYN is a private party who acted as an intermediary in the case.

Previously, the KPK arrested 10 people in a sting operation spanning 7-8 June 2026. Five were arrested in Jakarta, and five others in South Sumatra. In the KPK’s 12th sting operation of 2026, Muara Enim Regent Edison was among those taken into custody.

On 9 June 2026, the KPK named four suspects in a suspected bribery case relating to the procurement of goods and services and other gratuities within the Muara Enim Regency Government for the 2025-2026 fiscal years. The four suspects are Edison; Secretary of the Muara Enim Education and Culture Agency Abi Nurwardani; marketing employee of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Cory Erin Hardi; and Adi Triyadi, who is Edison’s nephew.

The KPK subsequently conducted a follow-up sting operation on 10 June 2026, arresting five civil servants from the BPK RI. This operation became the 13th conducted by the KPK in 2026. On 11 June 2026, the KPK announced the naming of five people as suspects. They are Edison, Cory Erin Hardi, Director of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Fika, private party Augusz Dewanggara, and BPK RI civil servant Titin Rita Lestari, who previously served as Head of the Audit Team for the BPK Representative Office of South Sumatra.
