JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating another gift to the Mayor of Semarang Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu or Mbak Ita and the Chairman of Commission D of the Central Java DPRD who is also Mbak Ita's husband, Alwin Basri. This allegation was investigated from three witnesses, one of whom was a former member of the Semarang City DPRD, Hermawan Sulis Susnarko.

"Witnesses were examined regarding the process of distributing direct appointment projects or PLs at the Semarang City Government and other gifts to suspects I and AB," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters, Wednesday, November 20.

Apart from Hermawan, the Head of the Dukcapil Office of Semarang City, Yudi Hardianto Wibowo and Eko Yuniarto as the Head of the Pedurungan Sub-district, were also questioned. The three witnesses were questioned at the Semarang Polrestabes, Central Java on Tuesday, November 19.

Meanwhile, this gift was not detailed by Tessa. However, investigators have already pocketed the statements of the three witnesses to shed light on the alleged riot case within the Semarang City Government.

Previously reported, the KPK began investigating three alleged corruption crimes within the Semarang City Government (Pemkot). The details are the procurement of goods and services within the Semarang City Government in 2023-2024, the alleged extortion of civil servants related to incentives for collecting taxes and levies in the Semarang City area, as well as the alleged receipt of gratuities in 2023-2024.

Searches have been carried out in various locations such as in the cities of Semarang, Kudus, Salatiga, and others. From there, documents up to Rp1 billion and 9,650 euros were found as well as dozens of watches allegedly related to the case.
