VIDEO: Akbar Tandarina Mangkunegara Becomes A KPK Suspect In The North Lampung Project Corruption Case
JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named a state civil servant (ASN) named Akbar Tandarina Mangkunegara as suspects for allegedly receiving gratuities in the North Lampung Regency Government. Akbar was immediately arrested.
Akbar is a representative or representation of the former Regent of North Lampung, Agung Ilmu Mangkunegara for the period 2014 to 2019 who had already been named a suspect.
"We convey information regarding the announcement and detention of ATMN suspects, ASN in alleged corruption crimes related to the alleged receipt of gratuities in the North Lampung Regency Government from 2015 to 2019," said Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto in a press conference broadcast on the KPK RI YouTube, Friday, October 15.
This determination was made after the KPK collected information from a number of witnesses at the Mangkunegara Supreme Court trial. From this information, an investigation was carried out and sufficient preliminary evidence was found before raising his status to investigation since last April.
In this case, Akbar, who is the younger brother of Agung Sains Mangkunegara, actually played an active role in determining the entrepreneurs who were entitled to projects at the North Lampung PUPR Service. He did this from 2015 to 2019.
"In each of the projects referred to, suspect ATMN, assisted by Syahbudin (Head of the PUPR Office of North Lampung Regency), Taufik Hidayat, Desyadi, and Gunaidho Utama, as ordered by Agung Sains Mangkunegara, collected money or fees for projects in North Lampung," said Karyoto.
