KPK names four suspects in BPK audit findings rigging bribery case in Muara Enim

Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named four suspects in a suspected bribery case related to the conditioning of audit findings by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on the Muara Enim Regency Government in South Sumatra. KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Thursday that the four suspects consist of two parties suspected of giving bribes and two parties suspected of receiving bribes. “The KPK has named four people as suspects. Two from the suspected giver side, and two others suspected as recipients,” he said. Budi explained that two suspects in this case had also been named as suspects in a suspected bribery case connected to the procurement of goods and services within the Muara Enim Regency Government. “There are two suspects who are the same from the previous case. In the previous case, these two suspects were suspected recipients of bribes, and in this case they are suspected givers,” he added. He stated that formal identities of all parties would be announced at an upcoming press conference. Based on monitoring at the KPK building, the two newly named suspects are Titin Rita Lestari, the Audit Team Leader at the BPK Representative Office for South Sumatra, and private sector actor Augus Dwianggara. The KPK had previously arrested ten individuals in a sting operation (OTT) conducted from 7 to 8 June 2026, with five people detained in Jakarta and five others in South Sumatra. On 9 June 2026, the KPK had already named four suspects in a corruption case concerning the procurement of goods and services and other receipts within the Muara Enim Regency administration for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Those four suspects were Edison, Muara Enim’s Education and Culture Agency Secretary Abi Nurwardani, PT Millenium Solusi Abadi marketing employee Cory Erin Hardi, and Adi Triyadi, who is Edison’s nephew. The KPK then conducted a follow-up sting operation on 10 June 2026 and arrested five state civil servants (ASN) from the BPK RI. That operation became the 13th such operation conducted by the KPK throughout 2026. On 11 June 2026, the KPK confirmed that Titin Rita Lestari and Augus Dwianggara were named as suspects for the alleged bribery in arranging the BPK’s audit findings on the Muara Enim Regency Government.
