JAKARTA - The Executive Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) and the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) are still compact in providing legal assistance to former Tanah Bumbu Regent Mardani H. Maming after being detained by the KPK.

The detention was carried out because he was suspected of being involved in the alleged bribery and gratification of mining business licenses.

"As of today, Mr. Mardani will only be accompanied by attorneys from two organizations, from PBNU and from Hipmi," said Mardani's attorney, Abdul Qodir at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, August 3.

Meanwhile, regarding legal assistance from former Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Bambang Widjojanto and former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Denny Indrayana, Abdul said, Maming had withdrawn his power of attorney. The revocation is carried out as of today, Wednesday, August 3. "The old power of attorney has been revoked by Mr. Mardani Maming," he said.

Mardani holds strategic positions in two organizations that provide him with legal assistance. At PBNU, the former regent sits as general treasurer for the 2022-2027 period. While at Hipmi, he served as general chairman for the 2019-2022 period.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Mardani a suspect in the alleged bribery and gratification of a mining business permit in Tanah Bumbu Regency. He was named the suspect as the recipient, while the giver, Hendry Soetio, who was the controller of PT Prolindo Cipta Nusantara (PCN) had died.

Even though he died, the KPK confirmed that investigators had received evidence related to Mardani's acceptance. He is believed to have earned money from Hendry from 2014 to 2020.

The amount of money that Mardani received through his trusted people and his company reached Rp104.3 billion.

As a result of his actions, Mardani was suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or Article 12 letter b or Article 11 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Laws of the Republic of Indonesia. Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code.
