JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has again scheduled an examination of the wife of former Tanah Bumbu Regent Mardani Maming, Erwinda. He will be summoned by investigators from the anti-corruption commission today, Tuesday, July 19.

"Located at the KPK's Red and White Building, the investigative team has scheduled the summons of witnesses," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Tuesday, July 19.

Apart from Erwinda, investigators also scheduled an examination of Nur Fitriani Yoes Rachman who is a housewife and Commissioner of PT Angsana Terminal Utama (PT ATU), PT Trans Surya Perkasa (PT TSP), and PT Permata Abadi Raya (PT PAR).

Ali has not yet detailed the examination material for Mardani Maming's wife and two other people. However, they are suspected of knowing about the alleged bribery and gratification related to the mining business permit (IUP) in Tanah Bumbu, South Kalimantan.

Previously, Erwinda and Nur Fitriani Yoes Rachman should have been questioned on Wednesday, July 13. However, both of them did not respond to the summons of the anti-corruption commission investigators.

No confirmation was given to investigators. In fact, both information is needed.

Mardani was named a suspect after being prevented from going abroad by the Directorate General of Immigration at the request of the KPK. Before being named a suspect, the General Treasurer of the Nahdlaltul Ulama Executive Board (PBNU) was also investigated.

However, after being questioned, he admitted that he was asked for information regarding his problem with the owner of PT Jhonlin Group Samsudin Andi Arsyad alias Haji Isam.

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

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.
