Almost immediately following the issuance of Supreme Court Regulation No. 13 of 2016 on Case Handling Procedures for Corporate Crimes in December 2016, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named Nusa Konstruksi Enjiniring (NKE, formerly Duta Graha Indah), a publicly traded construction company, as a suspect of corruption in a number of government construction projects.
Before the trial of NKE, the Corruption Court put NKE’s former president and director, Dudung Purwadi, on trial for taking part in corruption in two government construction projects in which the bidding processes were engineered to ensure NKE won the projects.
The scheme involved payment of success fees to a public official who acted as an intermediary between NKE and the project owners. On 27 November 2017, the court found Purwadi guilty of corruption and sentenced him to four years and eight months in prison, and fined him IDR250 million (HK$18,000). In the same decision, the court also ordered NKE to pay restitution in the amount of IDR14.48 billion and IDR33.42 billion for corruption involving the two projects (the Jakarta High Court later changed the latter to IDR 36.87 billion in its decision dated 12 February 2018).
