KPK Cecar Plt Gubernur Riau SF Hariyanto Terkait Pergeseran Anggaran dan Aliran Uang

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the acting governor of Riau SF Hariyanto as a witness on Wednesday, February 11. He was questioned about budget shifts and money flows allegedly related to extortion and/or gratification of the non-active Governor of Riau Abdul Wahid and friends.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the examination was carried out at the Riau Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) Representative Office.

"In general, the material for the examination of witnesses relates to the planning and process of shifting the budget," Budi told reporters, quoted on Thursday, February 12.

Similar materials were also investigated by investigators to 15 witnesses who met the call. They are Marjani as the Assistant Governor of Riau for the period February 2025-present; Regent of Indragiri Hulu Ade Agus Hartanto; Acting Head of Bappeda Riau Purnama Irawansyah; Tata Maulana as Expert Staff of the Governor of Riau; and Hatta Said (private).

Then, Ka UPT I Khairil Anwar; Regional Secretary of Riau Syahrial Abdi; ASN Provincial Government of Riau Thomas Larfo; Fauzan Kurniawan (private); and Secretary of the Riau PUPR Office Ferry Yunanda were also examined.

Next, investigators also asked for information from the former Head of the Regional Unit I of the Riau PUPR Service, Ardi Irfandi; Ka UPT Wilayah III of the Riau PUPR PKPP Service, Eri Ikhsan; Ka UPT Wilayah IV of the Riau PUPR PKPP Service, Ludfi Hardi; UPT Wilayah V of the Riau PUPR PKPP Service, Basharuddin; and Ka UPT Wilayah VI of the Riau PUPR PKPP Service, Rio Andriadi Putra.

"In addition, investigators are also investigating the flow of money related to the incident of being caught in the act," said Budi.

In this case, the KPK had raided the official residence of the Regent of Indragiri Hulu Ade Agus Hartanto on Thursday night, December 18, 2025. Investigators then seized Rp. 400 million in denominations of Singapore dollars and rupiah.

The official residence and private house of SF Haryanto as the Deputy Governor of Riau who is currently serving as the Acting Governor of Riau were also searched on December 15, 2025. From this forced effort, investigators seized documents related to the extortion case and the addition of funds in the PUPR Office.

Not stopping there, investigators found money when searching SF Hariyanto's private house. The pieces consist of rupiah and Singapore dollars that are being counted.

As previously reported, the KPK has named three suspects in alleged extortion related to the addition of the 2025 budget allocated to the I-VI Regional Road and Bridge Unit of the PUPR PKPP Service. They are the Governor of Riau Abdul Wahid; M. Arief Setiawan as Head of the Public Works, Spatial Planning, Housing, Residential Areas and Land Agency (PUPR PKPP) of the Riau Province; and Dani M. Nursalam as an expert of the Governor of Riau.

Abdul Wahid et al. became suspects after being caught in a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Monday, November 3. They have been detained for the first 20 days until November 23, 2025.

This case began when there was an addition to the 2025 budget allocated to the I-VI Regional Road and Bridge UPT of the PKPP PUPR Service, which was originally Rp. 71.6 billion to Rp. 177.4 billion.

It is suspected that there is an ability to provide a fee of 2.5 percent which was then discussed in a cafe in the Pekanbaru City area, Riau. The discussion was carried out between Ferry Yunanda as the Secretary of the PUPR PKPP Office together with six UPT.

Then Ferry conveyed the results of the meeting to M. Arief as Head of the PUPR Office of the Riau PKPP and representative of Abdul Wahid. But, Arief actually asked for 5 percent or Rp7 billion and threatened to remove the Head of the UPT who did not deposit.

As a result of their actions, the suspects violated the provisions in article 12e and/or article 12f and/or article 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
