JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the income of the Musi Banyuasin Regent Inactive Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin. This was done by examining his wife, Erini Mutia Yufada, on Monday, October 25 yesterday.

Dodi is a suspect in the alleged bribery case for infrastructure procurement in Musi Banyuasin Regency. He was named a suspect along with three other people, namely the Head of PUPR District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, Herman Mayori; Head of SDA/PPK Department of PUPR, Musi Banyuasin Regency, Eddi Umari; and Director of PT Selaras Simpati Nusantara Suhandy.

"Located at the Red and White KPK Building, the investigative team has examined witnesses for the suspect HM et al, namely Erini Mutia Yufada, private or the wife of the Regent of Musi Banyuasin," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Tuesday, October 26.

During the examination, investigators confirmed a number of things to Erini, including her husband's income and a number of meetings she had attended.

"The person concerned was present and his knowledge was explored, among others, related to the income of Tsk DRA as the Regent. Besides that, there were allegations of several meetings which were also attended by witnesses," said Ali.

In addition, he was also confirmed related to evidence found by the KPK during the search process some time ago. It was previously reported that the KPK named Alex Noerdin's son, Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin as a suspect in the bribery case for infrastructure procurement, which began with a hand arrest operation (OTT).

In this case, Dodi did a preposterous practice by engineering a number of lists, including making a list of potential partners who will carry out project work whose budget comes from the 2021 Fiscal Year APBD-P and provincial financial assistance, including the PUPR Office of Musi Banyuasin Regency.

In addition, it turns out that he has determined the percentage of the fee for each project value with details of 10 percent for him, 3-5 percent for Herman, and 2-3 percent for Eddi and other related parties.

As a result of this impudent practice, the company owned by Suhandy, namely PT Selaras Simpati Nusantara, was declared the winner of the four development projects. The project is the rehabilitation of the Ngulak III Irrigation Area (IDPMIP) in Ngulak III Village, Kec. Sanga with a contract value of IDR 2.39 billion; an increase in the DIR Epil irrigation network with a contract value of IDR 4.3 billion; improvement of irrigation network of DIR Muara Teladan with a contract value of Rp. 3.3 billion; normalization of Ulak Ria Lake, Sekayu District with a contract value of IDR 9.9 billion.

Dodi is expected to receive a commitment fee of Rp. 2.6 billion from Suhandy. However, when the OTT was carried out, he only received some of the money given through his subordinates, namely Herman and Eddi.
