Furthermore, this evidence will be extracted. This process is carried out to prove the manufacture of Syamsul and Sadmoko.
"Investigators will certainly extract and analyze every piece of evidence secured in this search," said Budi.
As previously reported, the KPK named Cilacap Regent Syamsul Auliya Rachman along with Sadmoko Danardono as the suspect in the alleged extortion.
The suspicion is that Syamsul asked Sadmoko to collect deposit money for the benefit of the 1447 Hijriah Eid al-Fitr THR to be given to external parties, namely the Cilacap Regency Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda) and individuals.
The KPK said that the money collected was targeted to reach Rp750 million from the Rp515 million requirement. Each work unit in the local government must deposit Rp75-100 million.
Syamsul asked for the deposit to be submitted on March 13, 2026. If you have not deposited, the regional apparatus will be billed by the sub-district assistant assisted by the Head of the Satpol PP and the Head of the Cilacap Food Security Service.
As a result of his actions, Syamsul and Sadmoko were then suspected of violating Article 12 letter e and/or Article 12B of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code.
