Haryadi Suyuti Allegedly Ordered His Subordinates To Issue Supporting Documents For IMB Submitted By PT Summarecon Agung

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former Yogyakarta Mayor Haryadi Suyuti instructed his subordinates to assist in the process of applying for a building permit (IMB) by PT Summarecon Agung.

This allegation was investigated by a number of parties, including the Head of the Yogyakarta City Spatial Planning Division, Danang Yulisaksono and the Head of the Special Committee for Yogyakarta City Aris Eko Nugroho. From that examination, investigators explored a number of things, including directions from Haryadi.

"The witness was present and confirmed, among other things, regarding the alleged direction from suspect HS to issue supporting documents so that the apartment IMB application submitted by PT SA can be approved," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri in a written statement, Friday, June 24.

Haryadi Suyuti was named a suspect along with three other people. They are the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment Office and PTSP Nurwidhihartana; Hariyadi's personal secretary and aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono; and Vice President Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Oon Nusihono.

In this case, Haryadi, who just retired from duty last May, is suspected of receiving facilitation payments related to the issuance of the Royal Kedaton Apartment Building Permit (IMB) in the Malioboro area, Yogyakarta City. In fact, this building does not meet several requirements from the results of research and studies conducted by the PUPR Service.

The discrepancy, among others, relates to the height of the building and the position of the degree of slope of the building from the road area. To smooth the permit, Oon allegedly gave money to Haryadi through Triyanto and Nurwidhihartana up to Rp50 million.

Then, when the IMB was finally issued, Oon came to Yogyakarta to meet Haryadi at his official residence. At that time, he handed over US$27,258 in a brown paper bag or goodie bag.

This money was later confiscated by investigators as evidence in the silent operation that ensnared Hariyadi.

In addition, Haryadi is also suspected of receiving money from the process of issuing development permits in the city of Yogyakarta. However, it is not yet known for sure how many there will be because the investigation will continue to be carried out by KPK investigators.
