Two former officials of PT Pembangunan Perumahan or PT PP (a state-owned enterprise), Herry Nurdy Nasution and Didik Mardiyanto, have each been sentenced to two and three years in prison in a case involving fictitious procurement in a housing project from 2022 to 2023.

“In ruling, the sentence imposed on the defendant Didik Mardiyanto is three years’ imprisonment with a fine of Rp 200 million, subsidiary 80 days’ imprisonment,” said the Chief Judge of the Panel, I Wayan Yasa, when reading out the verdict at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Tuesday (5/5/2026).

Meanwhile, Herry was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment with a fine of Rp 200 million, subsidiary 90 days’ imprisonment.

Before the verdict was read, Didik and Herry had returned a sum of money to the state through investigators.

In this case, Didik Mardiyanto was the former Head of the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Division of PT PP.

Meanwhile, Herry Nurdy Nasution previously served as Senior Manager at PT PP.

The two defendants are believed to have caused a state loss of Rp 46.8 billion, which resulted from enriching others or a corporation.

Through several fictitious procurements, several parties were enriched, namely Didik by Rp 35.33 billion, Herry by Rp 10.8 billion, and the Director of PT Adipati Wijaya, Imam Ristianto, by Rp 707 million.

The panel of judges stated that the money received by PT Adipati Wijaya was charged to Didik because the payment to Imam’s company was the initiative of the defendant.

As a result, in this case, Didik was sentenced to pay restitution of Rp 36.32 billion. Part of this money has already been returned to the state through investigators before the verdict was read.

Didik and Herry have committed unlawful acts, namely managing funds personally outside of accounting by disbursing company funds using fictitious goods and services procurement.

This fictitious procurement was carried out on housing development projects, one of which was the construction of a nickel ferro smelter in Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi.

Then, the Mines of Bahodopi Block 2 and 3 project for PT Vale Indonesia Tbk in Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi, Sulut-1 Coal FSPP, FSPP Portsite, Mobil Power Plant Packages 7 and 8, Bangkanai GEPP 140MW, and Manyar Power Line.

The two defendants are believed to have violated Article 604 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law No. 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 20 letter c in conjunction with Article 126 paragraph (1) of the National Criminal Code.
