KPK Cancels Inspection Of Surya Darmadi Today

JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has postponed the investigation of Surya Darmadi, which will be carried out by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This is because the health condition of the suspect in the alleged corruption of land grabbing in Riau continues to decline.

"So that the examination of the SD suspect by the KPK investigators, which was scheduled for Friday, August 19, 2022, at the Jampidsus Roundabout, has been postponed," said the Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) at the Attorney General's Office, Ketut Sumedana, in his statement, Friday, August 19.

Currently, Surya Darmadi is undergoing intensive care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Adhyaksa General Hospital, Ceger, East Jakarta.

With this condition, the time or rescheduling of the examination of the suspect has not yet been determined. Ketut said the process would wait for the suspect's condition to improve.

"Until the suspect recovers," said Ketut.

For information, Surya Darmai's health began to decline since Thursday, August 18. In fact, he had to be rushed to the hospital during the examination process.

The suspect is said to have experienced chest pain. However, it is not clear what disease he is suffering from.

Surya Darmadi is a suspect in the alleged corruption of money laundering and the seizure of 37,095 hectares of palm oil land in Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau. He was named along with another suspect, Raja Thamsir Rahman who is a former regent of Indragiri Hulu.

Meanwhile at the KPK, Surya Darmadi was named a suspect three years ago. This decision was made after investigators developed a case against former Riau Governor Annas Maamun.
