Pati - The inactive Regent of Pati, Sudewa alias Sudewo, admitted that he missed his citizens. This statement was made after undergoing an examination as a suspect in alleged extortion related to the filling of village apparatus positions today.

"Hello, hello to the residents of Pati Regency. I miss Pati Regency," Sudewo told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, April 16.

Sudewo further prayed that the development in Pati could be more advanced. Smiling and wearing an orange KPK prisoner vest, he hoped that everything would be better in the future.

"Hopefully it will be fine, the construction is going smoothly. Here I am healthy, thank God, yes, we pray for each other," he said as he got into the prisoner's car.

As previously reported, the KPK named Sudewo as the Regent of Pati as a suspect in alleged extortion of filling village apparatus positions with Abdul Suyono (YON) as the Karangrowo Kades, Jakenan District; Sumarjiono (JION) as the Arumanis Kades, Jakenan District; and Karjan (JAN) as the Sukorukun Kades, Jakenan District.

Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, said that the tariff of Rp. 165-225 million must be paid by the prospective village apparatus (caperdes). This figure is said to have been marked up by Abdul Suyono and Sumarjiono from Rp. 125-150 million.

There was also a threat, namely that the village apparatus formation would not be reopened the following year if the caperdes did not want to hand over the money.

During the silent operation, the KPK then secured Rp. 2.6 billion which had been stored in sacks. As a result of his actions, Sudewo et al were suspected of violating Article 12 letter e of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 jo Article 20 letter c of the Criminal Code.

In addition, the KPK also named Sudewo as a suspect in the alleged bribery of the railway line development project of the Director General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) for East Java. However, the role of the former Member of Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia has not been further detailed.
