JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the official residence of Riau Deputy Governor SF Hariyanto today. This search is related to alleged extortion and gratification that ensnared Riau's non-active Governor Abdul Wahid.

Currently, SF Haryanto is serving as the acting governor of Riau.

"Yes, the team is actively searching the SFH official residence," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Monday, December 15.

Budi said investigators were looking for evidence to investigate alleged corruption in the Riau Provincial Government environment. The team is still working so there is no information on the findings obtained.

"(The search, ed) is related to the investigation of the case of alleged extortion and gratification in the Riau Provincial Government environment which started from the activity of being caught in early November," he said.

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.

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.
