JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that PT Summarecon Agung did not only give bribes to the former mayor of Yogyakarta, Haryadi Suyuti. Allegedly there is also the provision of special facilities to facilitate business permits.

This was investigated from the examination of six witnesses on Tuesday, June 21 yesterday. One of those being investigated is the President Director of PT Summarecon Agung, Adrianto Pitojo Adhi.

"We are also investigating the alleged existence of special facilities for suspect HS (Haryadi Suyuti) during the permit process from PT SA (Summarecon Agung) Tbk", said a spokesman for the KPK, Ali Fikri, in a written statement, Wednesday, June 22.

The five other witnesses examined were the Finance Director of PT Summarecon Agung, Lidya Suciono; Secretary to the President Director of PT Summarecon, Yusnita Suhendra; two finance staff of PT Summarecon, Christy Surjadi and Valentina Aprilia; and Director of PT Java Orient Property, Dandan Jaya Kartika.

Ali did not elaborate further on what facilities were provided by PT Summarecon Agung to expedite the proposed licensing affairs. However, the investigation will certainly continue.

As previously reported, 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 Ministry of Public Works and Housing (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 IDR 50 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.
