"(OTT, red) related to transfers and promotions of positions," said Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Fitroh Rochcahyanto to reporters when confirmed, Friday, November 7.

Fitroh has not been detailed about who was secured. However, he said that Sugiri had been brought by the team at this time.

"It's been (secured by the team, ed)," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK just held an OTT on Monday, November 3. From this forced effort, three people were named as suspects, namely Riau Governor Abdul Wahid; M. Arief Setiawan as Head of the Public Works, Spatial Planning, Housing, Settlement and Land Areas (PUPR PKPP) Riau Province; and Dani M. Nursalam as an expert for the Governor of Riau.

The three of them are suspected of extorting money related to the addition of the 2025 budget allocated to the UPT Jalan and Jembatan Region I-VI PUPR PKPP Service.

This case began when there was an additional 2025 budget allocated to the UPT Jalan and Jembatan Region I-VI PUPR PKPP Office, which was originally Rp71.6 billion to Rp177.4 billion.

It is suspected that there was a 2.5 percent ability to provide fees which were then discussed at a cafe in the Pekanbaru City area, Riau. The discussion was held between Ferry Yunanda as Secretary of the PKPP PUPR Service along with six UPTs.

Then Ferry conveyed the results of the meeting to M. Arief as Head of the Riau PUPR PKPP Service and representative Abdul Wahid. However, Arief actually asked for 5 percent or Rp. 7 billion and threatened to remove the Head of the UPT who did not deposit.

As a result of their actions, the suspects violated the provisions in Article 12e and/or Article 12f and/or Article 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
