JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there was an agreement between the former Mayor of Yogyakarta Haryadi Suyuti and the Vice President of Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung, Tbk, Oon Nusihono.

This aims to oversee the application for a Building Permit (IMB) for the Royal Kedathon Apartment in the Malioboro area.

This allegation was conveyed by the Deputy Chairman of the KPK, Alexander Marwata, who said that a subsidiary of PT Summarecon Agung, PT Java Orient Property, submitted an IMB application to build the Royal Kedathon Apartment in an area that is part of a cultural heritage area.

"It is suspected that there was an agreement between ON and HS, among others, HS is committed to always guarding the application for the IMB permit by ordering the Head of the PUPR Office to immediately issue the IMB permit," Alexander said at a press conference at the KPK Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, 3 June.

However, this agreement did not just happen. Because, Oon is required to give money during the permit process.

Moreover, in the results of research and studies conducted by the PUPR Service, there are several conditions that are not met.

"Among them, there are basic inconsistencies with building regulations, especially regarding the height of the building and the position of the slope of the building from the road," explained Alexander.

The money allegedly given by ON to HS through the Personal Secretary and Hariyadi aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono and the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment and PTSP Office, Nurwidhihartana, reached Rp. 50 million.

"HS, who knew there was a problem, then issued a letter of recommendation that accommodates the ON application by approving the building height exceeding the maximum regulation limit so that the IMB can be issued," he said.

After the IMB was issued on Thursday, June 2, Oon then came to Yogyakarta to meet at Haryadi's official residence. From that meeting, then he handed over money amounting to 27,258 US dollars in a paper bag or a brown goodie bag.

This money was later confiscated by investigators as evidence in the hand arrest operation (OTT) which later ensnared Hariyadi.

As previously reported, the KPK appointed Hariyadi and two of his subordinates, namely the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment Service and PTSP, Nurwidhihartana, and Hariyadi's personal secretary and aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono.

As a result of their actions, they are suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or Article 12 letter b or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts Corruption Jo Article 55 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, as the giver, Oon is suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999. 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code.
