JAKARTA - The former regent of Tanah Bumbu, Mardani Maming, finally arrived at the Red and White House of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today, Thursday, July 28. He turned himself in after being a fugitive for alleged bribery and gratification related to a mining business permit in Tanah Bumbu Regency.

From VOI's monitoring, he arrived at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at 1400 WIB. He was wearing a blue bomber jacket.

"On Tuesday I was declared a DPO even though my attorney and I have sent a letter and will attend with my attorney on July 28," said Mardani upon arrival at the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday.

Mardani was accompanied by his attorney, Denny Indrayana when he visited the KPK. He had time to greet a number of his colleagues who were also present and then sat in the lobby of the KPK's Red and White Building.

Mardani has received two summons for questioning as a suspect from the KPK. However, Mardani was not present on the grounds of waiting for a pretrial decision until he was finally added to the wanted list (DPO).

Previously, Mardani was named a suspect after being prevented from going abroad by the Directorate General of Immigration at the request of the KPK. Before being named a suspect, he had also been questioned.

However, after being questioned, Mardani admitted that he was asked for information regarding his problem with the owner of PT Jhonlin Group Samsudin Andi Arsyad alias Haji Isam.

Even so, Maming's name was once said to have received Rp 89 billion in money in a trial for alleged bribery of a mining business license (IUP) in Tanah Bumbu Regency which was held at the Tipikor Court, Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan (Kalsel).

This allegation was conveyed by the younger brother of former President Director of PT Prolindo Cipta Nusantara (PCN) Henry Soetio, Christian Soetio. At that time, Christian claimed to know that there was a flow of funds to the former Regent of Tanah Bumbu Mardani H Maming through PT Permata Abadi Raya (PAR) and PT Trans Surya Perkasa (TSP).

The money transfer has been going on since 2014. The amount of tens of billions of rupiah is referred to as the amount quoted based on PT PCN's financial statements.
