A Number Of Witnesses In The Ex-Women's Walkot Yogyakarta Case Will Continue To Be Called By The KPK

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the summons of witnesses for the alleged bribery of apartment construction permits in Yogyakarta that ensnared former Yogyakarta Mayor Haryadi Suyuti will continue. The investigation will be carried out thoroughly.

"The collection of evidence by the investigative team continues to be carried out by still scheduling the summons of witnesses," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, August 31.

In addition, the KPK also extended the detention of Haryadi Suyuti and other suspects for the next 30 days. Ali said they would each serve a period of detention until September 30.

"HS (Haryadi Suyuti) is being held at the KPK Detention Center at the Red and White Building," he said.

Meanwhile, other suspects, namely the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government (Pemkot) Investment Office (Pemkot) Nurwidhihartana and the Personal Secretary and Aide Haryadi Triyanto Yuwono were detained in two different detention centers.

"(The extension of detention, ed) is based on the determination of the Head of the Corruption Court at the Yogyakarta District Court," said Ali.

As previously reported, Haryadi Suyuti along with three other people were also named suspects in the bribery case for building permits. They are the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment Office and PTSP Nurwidhihartana; private secretary concurrently with Hariyadi aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono; and Vice President of Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Oon Nusihono.

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

This discrepancy is related to the height of the building and the position of the slope of the building from the area of the road. To minimize licensing, Oon is suspected of giving 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 money in the amount of 27,258 US dollars in a brown paper bag or goodie bag.

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