JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found documents allegedly related to the alleged bribery in licensing the former Mayor of Yogyakarta Haryadi Suyuti. This finding was obtained by investigators when they searched Plaza Summarecon in the East Jakarta area.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said the search was carried out on Friday, August 5. In addition to documents, investigators found electronic devices.

"At that location, various documents and electronic devices allegedly related to the case were found and secured, among others," said Ali in his written statement, Monday, August 8.

Furthermore, the documents and electronic devices that were found hang will be analyzed. It is hoped that the actions of Haryadi and other actors in the alleged bribery of licensing the construction of this apartment will be revealed.

"Analysis following the confiscation of the findings of this evidence will immediately be carried out to complete the case file of the suspect HS et al," he said.

It was previously reported that Haryadi Suyuti and 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; 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 facilitate the licensing, 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.

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 known for sure how many there will be because the investigation will continue to be carried out by KPK investigators.
