JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the inactive Regent of Central Lampung Ardito Wijaya and three other suspects were now transferred. The transfer was due to the fact that they would undergo a trial at the Tanjung Karang District Court, Lampung today, April 29.
This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to respond to a netizen's photo depicting orange-colored prisoners at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.
"That is one of the processes in the prosecution, namely the transfer of suspects to prepare for the implementation of the trial," Budi told reporters at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada South Jakarta, which was quoted on Wednesday, April 29.
Budi said the transfer was in accordance with the applicable rules. "So before tomorrow's first hearing, the detention was transferred. Because these suspects were previously detained at the Red and White KPK Detention Center," he said.
"This also applies to several other suspects whose detention was carried out in Jakarta and then the trial was held in the area in accordance with the locus (location) of the incident."
As previously reported, the KPK held a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) in the Jakarta and Central Lampung regions on Monday and Tuesday, December 9-10. From this activity, the team secured a number of people including the Regent of Central Lampung Ardito Wijaya.
Furthermore, Ardito was named a suspect along with four other people. They are Riki Hendra Saputra as a member of the Lampung Tengah DPRD; Ranu Hari Prasetyo as Ardito's sister; Anton Wibowo as acting head of the Lampung Tengah Regional Revenue Agency as well as a close relative of Ardito; and Mohamad Lukman Sjamsuri as a private party or Director of PT Elkaka Mandiri.
Ardito is said to have received a fee of Rp5.75 billion from a procurement project in Central Lampung. The KPK said the money was obtained through the procurement conditioning mechanism, namely winning a company owned by a family or its winning team.
Of the amount of money he received, Ardito used it for operational funds of Rp500 million and repaid the bank loan when he advanced as a candidate for regional head. The value of the debt is said to be Rp5.25 billion.
As a result of Ardito's actions, Anton, Riki, and Ranu as recipients are suspected of having violated the provisions of Article 12 letter a or Article 12 letter b or Article 11 or Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Changes to Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Lukman as the grantor is suspected of having violated the provisions of Article 5 Paragraph (1) letter a or Article 5 Paragraph (1) letter b or Article 13 of Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Changes to Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Jo.
