Budi said that this development would begin with the findings obtained during the hand-in-hand operation (OTT) some time ago. In addition, the examination of witnesses in the bribery restitution case is also an entry point.

Then, Venzo met Mulyono at the restaurant to discuss the distribution of the appreciation money quota and agreed to the following distribution:

a. Mulyono in the amount of Rp800 million;

b. Dian amounted to Rp200 million; and

c. Venzo in the amount of Rp500 million.

Then, Venzo met Dian to give the agreed money of Rp200 million. However, Venzo asked for a 10 percent share or Rp20 million so that Dian received a net of Rp180 million.

Mulyono and Dian as the recipients are suspected of having violated Articles 12 a and 12 b of Law Number 31 of 1999 and Article 606 paragraph (2) of Law Number 1 of 2026. Meanwhile, Venzo is suspected of having violated Articles 605 and 606 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2026.
