Corruption Convict Visiting Coffee Shop Transferred to Maximum Security Prison on Nusakambangan

Former Head of the Harbourmaster in Kolaka, now a convict in a corruption case, Supriadi, has been transferred to Nusakambangan Island, Cilacap, Central Java. The transfer was prompted by a viral video recording of Supriadi going to a coffee shop. “To the inmates, the individual in question has been transferred,” said Rika Aprianti, Deputy Head of Cooperation at the Directorate General of Corrections under the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Ditjenpas Kemenimipas), to reporters on Friday (17/4/2026). Rika stated that Supriadi was moved to a prison with maximum security level or maximum security prison. Supriadi was transferred yesterday, Thursday (17/4), and arrived at Nusakambangan at 14:00 WIB. “(Transferred) yesterday, arrived at 14:00 WIB in Nusakambangan. To the Maximum Security Prison in Nusakambangan,” Rika added. Previously reported, the Class IIA Kendari Detention Centre stated that Supriadi was officially released from custody to attend a judicial review hearing (PK). In the video circulating widely on social media, Supriadi was seen walking from the mosque accompanied by an official from the Harbourmaster’s office in formal attire to a coffee shop on Jalan Abunawas, Bende Ward, Kadia Subdistrict, Kendari, on Tuesday (14/4) afternoon. In response to the incident, Minister of Immigration and Corrections Agus Andrianto directed Ditjenpas to firmly address any violations by related parties. “In line with the Minister’s instructions, an examination will be conducted, starting from the Head of the Detention Centre, the Head of Security at the Detention Centre, to the escorting officer regarding the mentioned incident,” said Rika. Meanwhile, Acting Head of Class IIA Kendari Detention Centre La Ode Mustakim did not deny that the process of returning to the detention centre was questioned. It is known that Supriadi became a detainee at Class IIA Kendari Detention Centre after being sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of Rp600 million. In that case, Supriadi was found guilty of abusing his authority by allowing a barge carrying nickel from the illegal mine owned by PT Pandu Citra Mulia (PCM) to pass. The activity used documents from PT Alam Mitra Indah Nugraha (AMIN) through the jetty of PT Kurnia Mining Resources (KMR). For each barge, Supriadi is suspected of receiving a bribe of Rp100 million to issue a sailing permit (SIB). However, the jetty owned by PT KMR did not have official permission from the Directorate General of Sea Transportation (Ditjen Hubla) under the Ministry of Transportation.
