YOGYAKARTA - The investigation team of the Yogyakarta Special Region High Prosecutor's Office searched the DIY Land and Spatial Planning Office (Dispertaru) regarding the alleged corruption case against the use of village treasury land in Caturtunggal Village, Sleman Regency.

Head of Legal Information for the DIY Prosecutor's Office, Herwatan, said the team also ransacked the private house of the Head of the DIY Dispertaru Krido Suprayitno.

"Earlier, two teams from the DIY Prosecutor's Office left together at 09.00 WIB. One team went to the DIY Dispertaru office and another team went to the house of Mr. Kadis (head of service)," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 12.

The search is a follow-up to the investigation into the alleged corruption case of using village treasury land in Caturtunggal Village, Sleman, with the defendant Robinson Saalino (President Director of PT Deztama Putri Sentosa) and the suspect Agus Santoso (Lurah Caturtunggal).

From searches carried out in the space of the Head of Dispertaru and the space of the Head of Utilization, Problem Handling, and Land Supervision of the DIY Dispertaru, investigators confiscated a CPU monitor, hard disk, flash disk, and a suitcase containing documents.

Meanwhile, from the private house of the Head of Dispertaru DIY, the investigative team confiscated 20 bundles of documents. "All of them were confiscated as evidence in the form of letters and goods. Currently, they have been stored in the warehouse of the DIY Prosecutor's Office," said Herwatan.

The legal action of the search and confiscation, he added, was the result of the development of the investigation of the suspect Agus Santoso and the testimony of witnesses at the trial of the defendant Robinson Saalino.

Regarding the case of misappropriation of village treasury land utilization in Caturtunggal Village, Sleman, the suspect Agus Santoso is suspected of committing a criminal act of corruption that cost the state finances Rp2,952,002,940.

Previously, the President Director of PT Deztama Putri Sentosa, Robinson Saalino, was named the first suspect in the alleged abuse of village treasury land in Caturtunggal, Depok, Sleman, and underwent his first trial at the Yogyakarta Corruption Court on June 12, 2023.

After Robinson, the DIY Prosecutor's Office also named the Caturtunggal Village Head Agus Santoso as a suspect in the misuse of the village treasury land.

Agus was named a suspect because he was proven to have neglected and supervised as appropriate against irregularities in the use of village treasury land by PT Deztama Putri Sentosa as a developer.

The actions of Robinson Saalino and Agus Santoso have harmed state finances and Caturtunggal Village amounting to Rp2.95 billion.

The case began when PTDeztama Putri Sentosa submitted a proposal for the lease of village treasury land in Caturtunggal Village on December 11, 2015. The village treasury area has an area of 5,000 square meters and is intended for the Green Stop Area.

On October 1, 2020, PTDeztama Putri Sentosa again submitted a proposal for the lease of village treasury land in Caturtunggal covering an area of 11,215 square meters to become the Singgah Hijau Area named Ambarukmo Green Hills, but this process has not yet obtained permission from the Governor of DIY.

Although they have not obtained the governor's permit, PTDeztama Putri Sentosa has utilized 5,000 square meters of land by constructing a permanent building that is not in accordance with the initial proposal, then leased it to a third party.
