JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) asked to reschedule the inaugural trial of the pretrial lawsuit filed by Sidoarjo Regent Ahmad Muhdlor Ali today. The letter has been sent to the South Jakarta District Court (PN) by the KPK Legal Bureau Team.
"The information we received was that the KPK Legal Bureau Team had sent a letter to the South Jakarta District Court asking for a rescheduling of the trial," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Monday, May 6.
Ali explained that there is still administration that the legal team must take care of against Ahmad Muhdlor. However, he did not specify anything.

The South Jakarta District Court held a pretrial hearing proposed by Sidoarjo Regent Ahmad Muhdlor Ali on Monday, April 22 with case number: 49/Pid.Pra/2024/PN JKT.SEL. He fought the anti-corruption commission because he was named a suspect in alleged corruption in cutting incentives.
Previously reported, Sidoarjo Regent Ahmad Muhdlor Ali did not answer the previous summons due to illness some time ago. He should have been examined regarding the cut in incentives for environmental employees of the Regional Tax Service Agency (BPPD).
In this case, the Head of the General Subdivision of Personnel of the BPPD Sidoarjo Siska Wati had already been named by the KPK as a suspect. He was caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT) which resulted in R69.9 million in finding.
Furthermore, investigators determined the Head of BPPD Sidoarjo Ari Suyono. Siska's total money allegedly reached Rp2.7 billion since 2023.
The notification of the money cut is said to have been done verbally. BPPD employees are also not allowed to discuss it via text message.
