KPK Updates Information, Names Five Suspects in BPK Audit Findings Bribery Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has updated previously released information and stated it has named five suspects in a suspected bribery case related to the conditioning of audit findings by the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) for the Muara Enim Regency Government, South Sumatra, for the 2025 fiscal year. “Yes, there are five, not four. Only two have been detained,” said Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, at the KPK’s Red and White Building in Jakarta on Thursday. Taufik explained the five suspects comprise non-active Muara Enim Regent Edison (EDS), marketing staff of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Cory Erin Hardi (CRH), a private party named Augusz Dewanggara (AGG), Head of the BPK Audit Team for South Sumatra Representative Office Titin Rita Lestari (TTN), and a director of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi with the initials FK. “We did not detain EDS because he has already been detained in a previous case. Similarly, CRH was already detained in a previous case,” he said. He added that suspect FK would be detained by the KPK at a later opportunity. “Regarding FK, we have named him a suspect based on the case exposure results. We will follow this up in the subsequent investigation process,” he stated. Previously, the KPK arrested 10 people in a sting operation on 7-8 June 2026. Five were arrested in Jakarta and five others in South Sumatra. On 9 June 2026, the KPK named four suspects in a suspected bribery case relating to the procurement of goods and services and other receipts within the Muara Enim Regency administration for the 2025-2026 fiscal years. The four suspects were Edison, Secretary of the Muara Enim Education and Culture Office Abi Nurwardani, marketing staff of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Cory Erin Hardi, and Adi Triyadi, who is a nephew of Edison. The KPK then conducted a follow-up sting operation on 10 June 2026 and arrested five state civil apparatus from the BPK RI. This operation became the 13th sting operation conducted by the KPK throughout 2026.
