KPK Probes Fund Transfer from Nurhadi to Dito Mahendra

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is questioning Mahendra Dito Sampurno a.k.a Dito Mahendra in the alleged money laundering case by former Supreme Court Secretary Nurhadi Abdurrachman. The KPK is tracing a suspected flow of money from the suspect to Dito.

"We are also investigating, among others, the alleged flow of money and the purchase of goods of economic value by the suspect Nurhadi," said Head of KPK Reporting Section Ali Fikri, Monday, February 6.

Ali said that the fund is suspected to have originated from handling cases at the Supreme Court.

Both men have been convicted of accepting money from the main director of PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal, Hiendra Soenjoto. Nurhadi and Rezky were each given a verdict of 6 years in prison and a fine of Rp500 million, which can be substituted with 6 months of additional jail time.

Later, the KPK again named the two of them in a money laundering crime case that started in November 2020. The KPK suspects that Nurhadi and Rezky committed money laundering by disguising the ownership of their assets which were suspected of originating from the case management at the Supreme Court.

For the ongoing investigation, the KPK had summoned Dito for questioning three times but he never showed up. He only came for questioning on Monday, 6 February, where he was examined for 5 hours.
