JAKARTA – After missing the call from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and “disappearing” when he wanted to be picked up by force, Mardani H. Maming agreed to fulfill the summons of the anti-corruption agency after being made a DPO.

This was conveyed by attorney Mardani H. Maming through a press release received by VOI.id signed by Muhammad Razif Barokah and Zamrony

“Allow us to reiterate that Br. Mardani H. Maming has always been cooperative and willing to provide information that is requested to be scheduled for Thursday, July 28, 2022," wrote the attorney from the Office of the PBNU Counseling and Legal Aid Institute.

The KPK included Mardani in the DPO today, Tuesday, July 26. Previously, he was absent from the summons of investigators as a suspect twice.

When investigators visited his apartment in the Jakarta area, Mardani was also nowhere to be seen. So, investigators went home empty-handed.

Previously, 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, he had also been questioned.

However, after being questioned, Mardani 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.
