JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) canceled its investigation of the Plh Regional Secretary (Sekda) DKI Jakarta Sri Haryati. Originally, he would be questioned as a witness for the suspect, former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Cornelis Pinontoan, Monday, May 31.

Yoory is a suspect in alleged corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, East Jakarta.

"The information we received confirmed that the person concerned did not attend due to illness," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Monday, May 31.

Furthermore, Sri will be rescheduled by investigators. However, it is not known when the recall will take place.

As previously reported, the KPK has not only named Yoory as a suspect but also two other people, namely PT Adonara Propertindo Director Tomy Ardian, and PT Adonara Propertindo Deputy Director Anja Runtuwene. In addition, the KPK has also named a corporate suspect, namely PT Adonara Propertindo.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank.

Furthermore, the Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya collaborated with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

From this collaboration, on April 8 2019, it was agreed to sign the Binding of the Sale and Purchase Agreement Deed before a notary which took place at the Perumda Sarana Jaya office. This signature was carried out between the buyers, namely Yoory and Anja Runtuwene.

"Furthermore, at the same time, a payment of 50 percent or around Rp. 108.9 billion was immediately made to AR's bank account at Bank DKI," said Setyo.

Next, on Yoory's orders, the next payment was made in the amount of IDR 43.5 billion.

However, in the land acquisition process, Perumda Sarana Jaya is suspected of committing fraudulent actions such as not conducting a study on the feasibility of the land object and not conducting an appraisal study without being supported by the complete requirements according to the relevant regulations.

In addition, this BUMD company is also strongly suspected of carrying out the process and stages of land acquisition not according to procedures and there are documents that are prepared in a back date, as well as an initial price agreement between Anja and Perumda Sarana Jaya before the negotiation process is carried out.

For their actions, the suspects are suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the 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 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
