JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found evidence including an unknown amount during a search of Summarecon Agung's office in East Jakarta.

The search on Monday, June 6 was conducted to look for evidence related to the alleged bribery in licensing the construction of an apartment that ensnared former Yogyakarta Mayor Haryadi Suyuti. Haryadi became a suspect after being caught red-handed receiving money from the Vice President of Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Oon Nusihono.

"At this location, various evidence was found and secured, including documents and a sum of money, which is currently still being calculated, which is strongly suspected to be related to the case", Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, June 7.

Ali said the evidence found would be analyzed. Next, the confiscation will be carried out.

"The evidence will be re-analyzed and confiscated to complete the case files of the suspects", he said.

As previously reported, Haryadi Suyuti was named a suspect along with three other people. They are the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment Office and PTSP Nurwidhihartana; Hariyadi's personal secretary and aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono; and Vice President Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Oon Nusihono.

In this case, Haryadi, who just retired from duty last May, is suspected of receiving facilitation payments related to the issuance of the Royal Kedaton Apartment Building Permit (IMB) in the Malioboro area, Yogyakarta City. In fact, this building does not meet several requirements from the results of research and studies conducted by the PUPR Service.

There are also discrepancies, including those related to the height of the building and the position of the degree of slope of the building from the road area. To smooth the permit, Oon allegedly gave money to Haryadi through Triyanto and Nurwidhihartana up to IDR 50 million.

Then, when the IMB was finally issued, Oon came to Yogyakarta to meet Haryadi at his official residence. At that time, he handed over US$27,258 in a brown paper bag or goodie bag.

This money was later confiscated by investigators as evidence in the silent operation that ensnared Hariyadi.

In addition, Haryadi is also suspected of receiving money from the process of issuing a development permit in the city of Yogyakarta. However, it is not known for sure how many there will be because the investigation will continue to be carried out by KPK investigators.
