JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the process of disbursing money at PT Summarecon Agung (SA) Tbk to apply for an apartment construction permit to the Yogyakarta City Government. This was done by examining three witnesses on Tuesday, July 12.

Those examined were the accounting staff of PT. Sumarecon the Great, Judith; PT Grahacipta Hadiprana employee, Firdause Santiaji; and PT Summarecon Agung finance staff, Marcella Devita.

"The three witnesses were present and investigated, among others, related to the process of disbursing finances at PT SA Tbk for the application for an apartment permit to the Yogyakarta City Government," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday, July 13.

In addition, the three witnesses were also confirmed about giving money to former Yogyakarta Mayor Haryadi Suyuti. Allegedly this step was taken to smoothen the licensing process.

In fact, investigators from the anti-corruption commission will also examine another witness, namely the accounting staff of PT Summarecon Property Development. But he was not present.

"Confirmed to be rescheduled," said Ali.

Haryadi Suyuti along with three other people who were also named suspects in the bribery case for building permits. 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. The discrepancy, among others, relates 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 Rp. 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.

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