JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) opens the opportunity to prevent Nindy Ayunda's lover, Dito Mahendra from leaving the country. This consideration was taken after he was absent from being summoned by investigators in the alleged money laundering case of former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Nurhadi.

"Of course later we will consider whether to prevent it. For example, not traveling abroad must be done in the context of the need for an investigation process, of course, it will be considered further," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Monday, January 9.

Even so, the anti-corruption commission still provides opportunities for Dito. This private party was asked to cooperate in fulfilling the investigator's summons.

Ali said Dito's statement was needed to clarify Nurhadi's alleged money laundering. Thus, the KPK seeks to present itself.

"We still hope that the person concerned will cooperate in confirming with the KPK regarding his whereabouts and when it can be investigated," said Ali.

For information, the KPK has also prevented witnesses from traveling abroad. One of them, DPR member Iis Rosita Dewi whose information is needed in the bribery case for the export of lobster seeds in 2020.

Dito Mahendra was previously summoned by the KPK on November 8, 2022, December 21, 2022, and January 5, 2023. However, he did not show his nose in front of investigators.

The KPK has also tried to visit his house according to the residence administration address. However, Dito was not found there.

In this case, investigators are now focusing on investigating Nurhadi's alleged money laundering. He is suspected of diverting bribes and gratuities he received into assets.

Meanwhile, in the bribery and gratification case, Nurhadi and his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono, have been found guilty of receiving Rp49 billion in cash. Both are currently serving sentences at the Sukamiskin Penitentiary (Lapas) for six years.

Not only that, they are required to pay a fine of Rp. 500 million, provided that if they are not paid, they will be replaced with imprisonment for three months.
