JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the corruption motives of the inactive Meranti Regent M. Adil who is suspected of participating in the 2024 gubernatorial election (Pilgub). This effort was carried out by examining the Deputy Regent of Meranti Asmar.

"Investigated about the knowledge of corruption motivation carried out by the Supreme Court, among others, to prepare for the 2024 Governor Election contestation," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, May 30.

Ali said that there were other things that were investigated by Asmar that were examined on Monday, May 29. Among them is M. Adil's actions of cutting money to receive project fees in his area.

"This witness was also asked to remind all ASN Meranti Islands Regency related to this case to cooperate," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK named the Regent of Meranti Muhammad Adil as the highest suspect in three different cases. This determination was made after being caught in a sting operation (OTT).

He was named a suspect for cutting the 2022-2023 budget, receiving fees from Umrah travel services, and allegedly giving bribes to condition financial examination in 2022 at the Meranti Islands Regency Government. Adil became a prisoner for the Head of the Meranti Islands BPKAD, Fitria Nengsih and the Deputy BPK representative of Riau M Fahmi Aressa.

The KPK revealed that the money Adil got from the practice of rasuah was used for operational costs for political safari activities. He plans to run as one of the Riau gubernatorial candidates in the 2024 Pilkada.
