KPK Summons Nabil Husein in Ex-Kukar Regent Rita Widyasari Graft Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned businessman and House of Representatives Commission III member Nabil Husein Said Amin Al Rasydi (NHS) as a witness in a suspected gratification case involving former Kutai Kartanegara (Kukar) Regent Rita Widyasari. “NHS, an entrepreneur, owner of PT Nahusam Bermartabat Indonesia,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told reporters on Tuesday (23/6/2026). Nabil Husein is also the president of the Borneo FC Samarinda football club. His examination is scheduled to take place at the KPPN office in Balikpapan. “The examination of witnesses is related to the alleged criminal act of corruption in the form of gratification per metric ton of coal production in the Kutai Kartanegara area for suspect RW,” he stated. In addition to Nabil, the KPK also summoned several other witnesses in the same case. The list includes: 1. Sukotjo - Head of BPKAD Kukar Regency; 2. Didi Marsono - private sector (President Director of PT Bara Kumala Sakti); 3. Ibnu Adi - private sector; 4. Indah Nurgusrianty - housewife; 5. H. Sunggono - Regional Secretary of Kukar Regency; 6. Haryanto - private sector; 7. Nyarmiatik - housewife; 8. Kusnadi - private sector; 9. H. Mohd Said Amin - entrepreneur; 10. Aulia Wirahman - civil servant at BPKAD Kukar Regency; 11. Cici Andini Balfas - civil servant at the East Kalimantan Provincial Energy and Mineral Resources Office. Rita Widyasari was initially named a suspect in bribery and gratification cases in 2017. She was subsequently tried for gratification and in 2018 was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Jakarta Central Corruption Court. The court also imposed a fine of Rp 600 million, a subsidiary of six months’ confinement, and a five-year revocation of political rights. Judges found Rita guilty of accepting Rp 110 billion in gratuities related to project permits in Kutai Kartanegara. Her legal challenge failed after the Supreme Court rejected her judicial review petition in 2021, and she has since been imprisoned at Pondok Bambu Correctional Facility. In addition to the gratification case, Rita remains a suspect in a suspected money laundering case. In July 2024, the KPK revealed that Rita had also received money from mining entrepreneurs.
