The detention was carried out today, Thursday, September 8. "The investigative team detained the suspect SP (Joe Pampang) and the suspect JPP (Jusiendra Pribadi Pampang) for the first 20 days," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto at a press conference at the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. Both of them were then detained at the KPK Detention Center at Pomdam Jaya Guntur. The detention was carried out until September 27. In addition, the KPK also announced the status of two other suspects. They are the Regent of Central Mamberamo Ricky Ham Pagawak and the Director of PT Solata Sukses in Building Marten Toding. However, both of them have not yet been detained. "KPK reminds other suspects to cooperate, they are present to fulfill the summons of the investigative team on the agenda of the next examination," said Karyoto. "Especially for the suspect RHP, the KPK is still trying to search for the whereabouts of the person concerned by coordinating with various related parties," he continued. Karyoto then said the case began when Simon, Jusiendra, and Marthen approached Ricky. They allegedly want to get a project in Central Mamberamo Regency, Papua. Furthermore, the three are suspected of promising money to Ricky if his company can get a project. Karyoto said that from this practice the three of them then got projects. Ricky, continued Karyoto, ordered officials at the Central Mamberamo Public Works Agency to coordinate a large-value project. Jusiendra is suspected of having obtained 18 projects worth Rp217.7 billion, one of which is the construction of a student dormitory in Jayapura. Then Simon allegedly got six projects worth IDR 179.4 billion. Then, Marten got three projects worth IDR 9.4 billion. It is suspected that the KPK gave Rp24.5 billion in money by transferring it to the account of Ricky's confidant. In addition, Ricky is suspected of receiving money from several other parties. "We are still investigating the amount in this investigation process," said Karyoto. As a result of their actions, the three are suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph 1 letter a or Article 5 paragraph 1 letter b or Article 13 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code.
