ILLUSTRA TION BY VOI

JAKARTA - Attorney General for the General Treasurer (Bendum) of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board Mardani H Maming, Ahmad Irawan visited the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

He came to ask the KPK to examine other witnesses in the new investigation that is being carried out.

There is also an investigation related to mining business permits. Maming has been questioned by KPK investigators regarding this matter some time ago.

"It has to do with the transfer of the IUP (mining business permit)", said Ahmad at the KPK's Merah Putih building, South Jakarta, Wednesday, June 8.

Ahmad did not want to specify which areas were questioned by investigators. However, he mentioned the involvement of PT Jhonlin Group owner Samsudin Andi Arsyad alias Haji Isam.

He even said that Haji Isam should have been investigated by investigators. "Because in the process of transferring the IUP, we suspect Pak Haji Isam also knows", said Ahmad.

Previously, Mardani had been questioned for 12 hours at the KPK building on June 2. He didn't say much about the investigation and only admitted that he was investigated regarding his problem with Haji Isam.

Even so, Maming's name was actually mentioned as receiving Rp89 billion in money in a trial for alleged bribery of a mining business permit (IUP) in Tanah Bumbu Regency which was held at the Corruption Court, Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.

This allegation was conveyed by the younger brother of former President Director of PT Prolindo Cipta Nusantara (PCN) Henry Soetio, Christian Soetio. At that time, Christian claimed to know that there was a flow of funds to the former Regent of Tanah Bumbu Mardani H Maming through PT Permata Abadi Raya (PAR) and PT Trans Surya Perkasa (TSP).

The money transfer has been going on since 2014. The amount of tens of billions of rupiah is referred to as the amount quoted based on PT PCN's financial statements.
