SURABAYA - The inactive Ponorogo Regent Sugiri Sancoko is sentenced to 7 years in prison in the case of alleged bribes and gratuities related to the sale and purchase of positions and projects at the dr. Harjono Ponorogo Regional General Hospital (RSUD), East Java.
In the reading of the indictment at the Surabaya Corruption Court in Sidoarjo, the public prosecutor (JPU) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) also demanded Sugiri to pay a fine of Rp. 300 million and compensation of Rp. 6.7 billion.
"The defendant Sugiri Sancoko is sentenced to seven years in prison, minus the period of detention that has been served," said KPK prosecutor Arjuna Budi Tambunan when reading the charges, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 14.
In his demand, the JPU stated that Sugiri was proven to have legally and convincingly committed the crime of corruption in the form of receiving bribes and gratuities as a state organizer.
In addition to Sugiri, the JPU also read the indictment against the former Regional Secretary of Ponorogo Regency, Agus Pramono, with a sentence of 4 years and 8 months in prison accompanied by a substitute fine of Rp. 975 million.
Meanwhile, the former Director of the Dr. Harjono Ponorogo Hospital, Dr. Yunus Mahatma, was sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison and paid compensation of Rp. 300 million.
The summons letter was read in turn by the KPK JPU team consisting of Arjuna Budi Tambunan, Tonny Indra, and Tri in front of the panel of judges headed by I Made Yuliada.
The JPU stated that Sugiri fulfilled the elements as a state organizer who received gifts or money related to his position.
Based on the facts of the trial, Sugiri allegedly received at least IDR 900 million from dr. Yunus Mahatma through Agus Pramono to maintain the position of Director of the dr. Harjono Hospital, Ponorogo.
The money was given in two stages, namely Rp400 million in February 2025 and Rp500 million in November 2025.
In addition to the alleged sale and purchase of positions, the JPU also revealed the receipt of money allegedly originating from contractors for the construction of the dr. Harjono Hospital Facility.
Businessman Sucipto is said to have given Sugiri around IDR 1.15 billion through Yunus Mahatma and other parties in return for the hospital construction project.
This matter is an expansion of the KPK's hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on November 7, 2025 which ensnared four suspects, namely Sugiri Sancoko, Agus Pramono, Yunus Mahatma, and the private party Sucipto.
After reading the charges, the panel of judges adjourned the trial and scheduled the next hearing with the agenda of delivering a defense note (pledoi) from the defendants and their legal advisors.
