The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has again detained three suspects in the bribery case for the procurement and maintenance of the railway line at the DJKA Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub). They are the head of a working group (Pokja) in a number of projects.

These three people are Hardho, Edi Purnomo, and Budi Prasetiyo. The determination of the three as suspects is the development of bribes by Dion Renato Sugiarto to the Commitment Making Officer (PPK) within the Semarang BTP.

"Suspect H, suspect EP, and suspect BP will be detained for the first 20 days starting from November 28, 2024 to December 17, 2024 at the Detention Center Branch of the Class I Rutan in East Jakarta," said KPK Investigation Director Asep Guntur Rahayu at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, November 28.

Asep explained that Hardho is the head of the working group project for the Lampegan-Cianjur railway line improvement package for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. He is suspected of receiving paper in the form of records on the regulation of the winner of the project from PPK named Synto Pirjani Hutabarat who has been convicted in this case.

In that note, it is stated the arrangement for project winning. The details are the package I by Dion with the flag of PT Rinenggo Ria Raya, package 2 of Muchammad Hikmat with the flag of PT Tirtamas independently, package 3 of the DPR Commission V member from the West Java electoral district with the company PT Nazma Tata Laksana, package 4 Fahmi or Wahyu Purwanto with the company PT Putra Kharisma.

With this arrangement, Hardho is suspected of receiving a fee of Rp. 321 million from Dion Renato. He is also suspected of receiving a total fee of Rp. 670 million related to a number of projects at the DJKA Ministry of Transportation.

Meanwhile, Edi Purnomo is suspected of accepting a bribe of Rp140 million to win PT KA Properti Manajemen. The subsidiary of PT KAI received a share in working on a project to improve the cross section of the Java and Sumatra regions in 2022.

Then Edi also received a fee of around Rp. 285 million for a number of other projects at the DJKA Ministry of Transportation.

Not only that, Hardho and Edi together with Budi Prasetyo and Dheky Martin as well as a number of other pokja members received a total of Rp800 million from Dion. The bribe is related to the Solo Balapan-Kadipiro elevated train double line project.

Even so, Dheky has not been arrested because he is sick. He will later be summoned for examination and detention.

For their actions, the four suspects were suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or Article 12 letter b or Article 11 and Article 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
