JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has communicated with the Attorney General's Office regarding the investigation of the case that ensnared the owner of PT Duta Palma Group, Surya Darmadi. Duplicate documents have been provided.

This step was taken because the KPK and the Attorney General's Office both named Surya Darmadi as a suspect in two different cases. By the anti-corruption commission, Surya was designated as a bribe to Riau Governor Annas Ma'amun.

"We have met with the Attorney General's Office intensely to discuss further regarding the handling of the case in question. The KPK has also submitted several duplicate documents of evidence related to the case to the Attorney General's Office," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Monday, August 15. .

He said the KPK fully supports the steps taken by the Attorney General's Office in resolving the corruption case that ensnared Surya. Moreover, in the process there was a loss to the state so that the implementation of Article 2 and Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law was carried out by the Adhyaksa Corps.

However, Ali also ensured that the Surya Darmadi case that was running at the KPK would also work. It is certain that the businessman will be brought to the Corruption Court.

"As for the case handled by the KPK, namely the alleged bribery related to the conversion of forest functions in Riau Province, of course the investigation will also be completed and we make sure the suspect will be processed until the trial," he said.

Previously, the Attorney General's Office named Surya Darmadi as the owner of PT Duta Palma Group as a suspect in alleged corruption in the seizure of 37,095 hectares of land in 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 has been named a suspect since 2019. This determination was made after investigators developed a case against former Riau Governor Annas Maamun.

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) said it had secured Surya Darmadi alias Apeng at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. He is a fugitive in a corruption case involving the seizure of 37,095 hectares of land in Riau. So far, Ketut has only said that Surya Darmadi is on his way to the AGO.
