KPK suspects BPK audit conditioning not only occurred in Muara Enim
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that manipulation of Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) audits of local government financial reports did not only occur in Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra.
KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said the agency formed this suspicion after examining Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir (Pali) Regent Asgianto as a witness in the alleged bribery case involving the manipulation of BPK audit results in Muara Enim Regency on 18 August 2026.
“The testimony of the Pali Regent then confirmed that the BPK audit findings did not only occur in Muara Enim Regency, but also in other regions,” Budi told journalists in Jakarta on Wednesday.
For this reason, Budi said the KPK is continuing to investigate similar practices outside the Muara Enim Regency Government.
Previously, the KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) on 7–8 June 2026 and detained several parties, including Muara Enim Regent Edison.
On 9 June 2026, the KPK named four suspects in the alleged bribery case related to the procurement of goods and services and other receipts within the Muara Enim Regency Government for the 2025–2026 fiscal year.
The four suspects are Edison, Secretary of the Muara Enim Education and Culture Office Abi Nurwardani, marketing employee of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi 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 detained a state civil servant from BPK RI. The operation became the KPK’s 13th sting operation throughout 2026.
On 11 June 2026, the KPK named five suspects in the alleged bribery case involving the manipulation of BPK audit results against the Muara Enim Regency Government for the 2025 fiscal year.
The five suspects are Edison, Cory Erin Hardi, Director of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Fika Nur Alawi, private party Augusz Dewanggara, and BPK RI state civil servant Titin Rita Lestari.
Augusz is suspected of having been an expert staff member of BPK RI Member V Bobby Adhityo Rizaldi, while Titin previously served as Head of the BPK Audit Team for the South Sumatra Representative Office.
On 13–14 July 2026, the KPK searched Bobby’s residence and seized a number of electronic evidence items. Bobby was then examined as a witness by the KPK on 16 July 2026.
