JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will study all evidence suspected of being related to the corruption case of Ponorogo Regent Sugiri Sancoko.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said this step was taken by investigators after a marathon searched a number of places over the past week. As for this forced effort, investigators obtained a number of documents to electronic evidence to luxury assets such as four-wheeled vehicles that strengthened Sugiri's actions with other suspects.

"Investigators will extract and study each confiscated document and bbe to support this investigation process," Budi said in his statement quoted Monday, November 17.

Not only that, the confiscation also aims to return the proceeds of corruption to the state.

"Including the confiscation of these assets, apart from the evidentiary process, it is also the first step in asset recovery," said Budi.

It is known that investigators have been moving in Ponorogo since November 11 or after conducting a hand arrest operation (OTT). The details of the locations visited were the Public Works (PU) Office, Dr. Harjono Hospital, Ponorogo Regency, the Ponorogo Regent's official residence, the Ponorogo District Secretary's official residence, Sugiri Sancoko's private house, which is now a suspect to Sucipto's house.

At that time, investigators found and confiscated documents and electronic evidence related to this case, such as budgeting documents and projects.

Then, investigators also confiscated assets belonging to the Director of the Ponorogo District Doctor Harjono Hospital, Yunus Mahatma on Thursday night, November 13. The details are a number of luxury watches, 24 bicycles and two luxury Jeep Rubicon and BMW cars.

Previously reported, the KPK named the Regent of Ponorogo Sugiri Sancoko as a suspect along with three other people, namely Agus Pramono who is the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Ponorogo Regency who has been in office since 2012; Yunus Mahatma as Director of Dr. Harjono Hospital Ponorogo Regency; and Sucipto who is a private party partner of Ponorogo Hospital in a work package within Ponorogo Regency.

The determination of the suspect began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Friday, November 7. There were three corruption clusters found by the KPK.

The first is the alleged bribery in the management of positions. Then bribery for work projects at the Ponorogo Hospital and other receipts or gratuities.

In the bribery case for the management of positions, Yunus as Director of RSUD Dr. Harjono Ponorogo Regency knew that Sugiri would replace it since the beginning of the year. So, he prepared a sum of money and handed it over three times.

The first handover was made by Yunus to Sugiri in February 2025 with a nominal value of Rp. 400 million. This money is given through an aide.

Then, in the April-August period, Yunus handed over Rp325 million to Agus Pramono.

Then, he again handed over Rp500 million to Ninik, who was Sugiri's relative in November. Thus, the money received by Sugiri reached Rp900 million.

It didn't stop there, Sugiri also received Rp1.4 billion from a work package project in the Ponorogo Hospital with a value of Rp14 billion. This money, called the KPK, was initially received by Yunus as the Head of the Regional Hospital.

Meanwhile, in the last cluster, it is suspected that Sugiri received gratuities in the form of hundreds of millions of money from the private sector.
