JAKARTA - Surya Darmadi, owner of PT Duta Palma Group, is being treated at Adhyakasa General Hospital, Ceger, East Jakarta. The suspect in the land grabbing case covering an area of 37,095 hectares is currently undergoing intensive treatment after undergoing an examination at the Attorney General's Office this afternoon.

"As a result of the doctor's decision at the hospital, he (Surya Darmadi, ed) was admitted to the ICU and hospitalized," Surya Darmadi's lawyer, Juniver Girsang, told reporters in a written statement, Thursday, August 18.

Juniver wished his client a speedy recovery. Thus, Surya's alleged corruption can be resolved immediately.

Meanwhile, Surya Darmadi was rushed to the hospital while undergoing examination as a suspect. He had a deteriorating health condition.

"After the primary school suspect was examined, the suspect's condition dropped or became ill, so the investigator asked the doctor to carry out a medical examination of the person concerned," said the head of the AGO's Legal Information Center, Ketut Sumedana, in his statement.

"After a medical examination was carried out by a doctor, the SD Suspect (Surya Darmadi) was advised to undergo a further medical examination at Adhyaksa General Hospital, Ceger, East Jakarta," he continued.

Previously, the Attorney General's Office named Surya Darmadi as 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.

After the determination of the suspect, Surya Darmadi was summoned by the Attorney General's Office three times. However, he was absent because he was abroad, before finally giving himself up upon arrival at Soetta Tangerang Airport from Taiwan on August 15.

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.
