JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked the South Jakarta District Court (PN) to postpone the initial pretrial hearing against former Tanah Bumbu Regent Mardani H. Maming. The reason, they are still coordinating.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said that the request for adjournment of the trial was submitted through the legal bureau team. The trial was supposed to take place today, Tuesday, July 12.

"The team still needs time to coordinate and prepare the administration, as well as material for answers that will be submitted to the pretrial trial," Ali said in a written statement to reporters, Tuesday, July 12.

Ali said this process is important. The goal is to make the pretrial hearing run smoothly.

Mardani filed a pretrial lawsuit to the South Jakarta District Court after receiving a letter of naming the suspect from the KPK. The Executive Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) appointed members of the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) DKI Jakarta Bambang Widjojanto and former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Denny Indrayana as legal counsel.

Mardani, who is the General Treasurer of PBNU, has been named a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification related to mining permits in Tanah Bumbu, Kalimantan. It is suspected that this abusive practice occurred while he was still in office.

The determination of Maming as a suspect by the KPK was initially known from the Directorate General of Immigration when confirming the existence of prevention abroad. Meanwhile, the anti-corruption commission has yet to make an announcement because efforts to force detention have not been carried out.

Regarding this pretrial hearing, Denny Indrayana said his party would prepare strong evidence against the KPK. Moreover, the determination of the suspect is closely related to criminalization.

"Of course we have submitted an application with the best legal arguments, to prove that this is a criminalization due to business competition," he told reporters.

"Documentary evidence, witnesses, and experts are also ready for us to present at the trial," continued Denny.
