JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to track assets belonging to the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) Heri Sudarmanto who is suspected of being related to the alleged extortion of the Foreign Manpower Utilization Plan (RPTKA). The tracking was carried out by examining two witnesses on Tuesday, April 14.
The two witnesses examined were Rizky Junianto as a civil servant (PNS) of the Ministry of Manpower and Farid Azianto who is a private employee. They were examined at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
"Witnesses are asked for information in order to trace the assets belonging to the suspects who are suspected of being related to this case," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his statement, Wednesday, April 15.
In addition to pursuing Heri's assets, which have been designated as suspects, the KPK is currently completing the information from the TKA agent who was extorted. Investigators have examined Yustandra as the President Director of PT Laman Davindro Bahman.
Then, Budi said, investigators also dug up the process of handling the RPTKA through the former Head of the Directorate General of Binapenta and PKK Budi Hartawan.
"Investigators confirmed the basis of the legalisation rules for TKA agents or PJP3TKA at the Ministry of Manpower," he said.
As previously reported, the KPK developed a case of extortion for handling RPTKA permits at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker). Heri Sudarmanto as the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower was named a suspect based on an investigation order (sprindik) issued in October 2025.
Heri was summoned as a witness in connection with the extortion case for handling TKA permits at the Ministry of Manpower on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. He was then named a new suspect in the extortion case for handling RPTKA permits at the Ministry of Manpower on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
The determination was made a day after investigators searched the house of Heri Sudarmanto or on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. From this forced effort, one car unit and a number of documents were seized.
Then other assets were also confiscated, including a number of land in Central Java. This seizure is referred to by the anti-corruption commission as a form of asset recovery or asset recovery from corruption.
In this case, the KPK has previously named eight suspects and now they have status as defendants because they are undergoing trial. Two of them are Suhartono and Haryanto who served as Director General of Manpower Placement and Employment Expansion (Binapenta and PKK) of the Ministry of Manpower.
They are suspected of feeling the flow of extortion money from the TKA agent, which amounted to Rp53.7 billion.
Meanwhile, for the other suspects are Wisnu Pramono as the Director of PPTKA Kemnaker; Devi Anggraeni as the Coordinator of the PPTKA Eligibility Test period 2020-July 2024 then became the Director of PPTKA period 2024-2025; Gatot Widiartono as the Coordinator of the Foreign Labor Analysis and Control Directorate of the Foreign Labor Control Directorate of the Ministry of Manpower; and Putri Citra Wahyoe, Jamal Shodiqin, and Alfa Eshad who are staff at the Directorate General of Binapenta and PPK.v
