JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the house of the former acting (Pj) Secretary of the Pati Regency, Riyoso, today. This forced effort is related to alleged extortion related to the filling of village apparatus positions that ensnared the non-active Pati Regent Sudewo.
"Investigators searched the house of RYS, who is the former Deputy Secretary of the Pati Regency," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his statement, Friday, February 27.
From this activity, investigators seized a number of evidence. "Documents and electronic evidence," said Budi.
Budi said that this finding was needed to strengthen the alleged extortion carried out by Sudewo and other suspects. However, he did not want to say much about Riyoso's involvement in this case.
"The search was carried out to strengthen evidence, especially against those who have been designated as suspects," he said.
"However, it is not impossible that from a series of examinations and searches carried out, if other evidence is found, the investigation will be developed," continued Budi.
As previously reported, the KPK named Sudewo as the Regent of Pati as a suspect in alleged extortion of filling village apparatus positions with Abdul Suyono (YON) as the Karangrowo Kades, Jakenan District; Sumarjiono (JION) as the Arumanis Kades, Jakenan District; and Karjan (JAN) as the Sukorukun Kades, Jakenan District.
Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, said that the tariff of Rp. 165-225 million must be paid by the prospective village apparatus (caperdes). This figure is said to have been marked up by Abdul Suyono and Sumarjiono from Rp. 125-150 million.
There was also a threat, namely that the village apparatus formation would not be reopened the following year if the caperdes did not want to hand over the money.
During the silent operation, the KPK then secured Rp2.6 billion which had previously been stored in sacks.
As a result of his actions, Sudewo and his colleagues were suspected of violating Article 12 letter e of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 jo Article 20 letter c of the Criminal Code.
