JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not revealed the role of singer Nindy Ayunda's lover, Dito Mahendra in the money laundering case (TPPU) that ensnared former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Nurhadi. They will open it in court. "Be patient. When this process is brought to trial, of course we will open it as wide as possible," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Monday, March 20. Ali ensured that Dito's involvement would be clearly disclosed by the prosecutor in a trial that was open to the public. A number of findings of evidence and information that had been presented in front of investigators will be revealed there. "Friends can follow the minutes, what's in it," he said. Dito Mahendra was questioned by KPK investigators on Monday, February 6. At that time, he was asked about the sale and purchase of luxury cars and the flow of money allegedly came from bribes in handling cases received by Nurhadi. Most recently, investigators also searched Dito's residence on Monday, March 13. As a result, investigators found 15 firearms ranging from pistols to long barrels. The dozens of firearms consisted of five clock-type pistols, one SNW pistol, one micro game gun, and eight long-barreled firearms. Currently, the KPK continues to coordinate with the Police on these findings. KPK investigators will also explore whether there is a connection between the purchase of this weapon and the case that ensnared Nurhadi. As previously reported, Nurhadi's alleged money laundering is not the first case handled by the KPK. The former Secretary of the Supreme Court has been sentenced to be found guilty in a bribery and gratification case with his son-in-law, Rezky Herbiyono. Both of them have now served a sentence at the Sukamiskin Penitentiary (Lapas) for six years. They are required to pay a fine of Rp. 500 million, provided that if they are not paid, they will be replaced with imprisonment for three months.
