Previously, the KPK detained two suspects in this case. They are former President Director of Regional Public Company Sarana Jaya Development Yoory Corneles and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Anja Runtuwene.

In addition, the KPK has also named PT Adonara Propertindo Director Tomy Ardian as a suspect and PT Adonara Propertindo as a corporate suspect. It's just that Tomy hasn't been arrested yet.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank.

Furthermore, the Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya collaborated with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.
