JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found a number of pieces of evidence related to the alleged bribery in licensing the construction of an apartment that ensnared the former mayor of Yogyakarta, Haryadi Suyuti. This finding was obtained after investigators searched three places on Tuesday, June 7 yesterday.

"The investigative team has completed carrying out a forced search of the Yogyakarta City area," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday, June 8.

Ali then detailed that the three places that were searched were the Yogyakarta Mayor's office, the Yogyakarta City Government Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office, and the Yogyakarta City Government Housing and Settlement Public Works Office.

From the search, Ali said that evidence was found. Among them in the form of documents there are special notes from Haryadi regarding the issuance of building permits (IMB).

"During the search, various evidences were found and secured, including various documents with special notes from HS as the mayor for the issuance of an IMB permit which is strongly suspected to be related to this case," he said.

Furthermore, this evidence is brought and will be analyzed by investigators. Then, the confiscation will be carried out.

"The investigative team immediately analyzed and confiscated the evidence to complete the case files for the suspects," said Ali.

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.

There are also discrepancies, including those related 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.
