JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) transferred the detention of the inactive East Kolaka Regent Abd Azis to the Kendari Detention Center on Monday, December 8. This process is closely guarded by local police personnel.

"The transfer process went smoothly because of active coordination with the Kendari District Attorney's Office as well as tight escort from Brimob personnel from the Southeast Sulawesi Police," said KPK Prosecutor Muhammad Albar Hanafi to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, December 10.

Apart from Abd Azis, three other detainees were transferred from the KPK Detention Center, Jakarta. They are Ageng Dermanto, Andi Lukman Hakim Amin, and Yasin.

Meanwhile, Abd Azis was also presented as a witness for Arif Rahman as KSO of PT Pilar Pintar Pintar Putra (PCP) and a representative from PT PCP, Deddy Karnady today at the Kendari Corruption Court. Both of them are bribes in the bribery case for the construction project of the East Kolaka Regional General Hospital (RSUD).

"Currently, the person concerned has been present at the Kendari Corruption Court," said Albar.

Previously reported, the KPK named the East Kolaka Regent Abdul Azis as a suspect in the alleged bribery of the construction of a regional public hospital (RSUD) along with four other people. This determination is a follow-up to the hand arrest operation (OTT) on Thursday, August 7, 2025.

Abdul Azis allegedly asked for a project fee of 8 percent or Rp9 billion from the construction of the East Kolaka Hospital, which amounted to Rp126.3 billion.

Then four suspects were also named, namely PIC of the Ministry of Health for the Development of the Andi Lukman Hakim Hospital, Commitment Making Officer (PPK) of the East Kolaka Regional Hospital Development Project Ageng Dermanto, representatives of PT Pilar Pintar Putra (PCP) Deddy Karnady, and KSO of PT PCP Arif Rahman.

Meanwhile, Abdul Azis, Ageng Dermanto, and Andi Lukman as bribe recipients were suspected of violating Article 12 Letter a or b or Article 11 and Article 12 B of the Anti-Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
