JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the inactive Central Mamberamo Regent Ricky Ham Pagawak was cooperative when he was arrested on Sunday, February 19. He was even shocked when the team broke down the door of his hiding house.
"When (he was arrested, ed) he was sitting and then shocked when a team from the KPK entered," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 22.
Ali ensured that the breaking in of the door was carried out after they tried to enter properly by tapping on the door. The condition of the house occupied by Ricky while in Abepura, Jayapura was covered by a high fence.
"We banged well and then there was no response," he said.
"But we believe that the RHP was inside so we forcibly opened the fence. We broke it down," he continued.
Ricky said the KPK did not fight back when the arrest warrant was shown. He was cooperative because he wanted to be brought directly by a team assisted by the Directorate of General Crimes at the Papua Police.
As previously reported, Ricky has officially been a detainee at the Red and White KPK Detention Center since Monday, February 20 after being on the run since July 2022. The suspect in the alleged bribery, gratification and money laundering was arrested in Abepura, Jayapura on Sunday, February 19.
In this case, Ricky is suspected of receiving bribes and gratuities of up to Rp200 billion. This acceptance was made from contractors who wanted to get projects in Central Mamberamo Regency.
There are three contractors who are said to have given money, namely the Director of PT Solata Sukses Building, Marten Toding; President Director of PT Bina Karya Raya, Simon Mampang; and Director of PT Bumi Abadi Perkasa Jusiendra Pribadi Pampang.
In detail, Jusiendra got 18 work packages with a total value of Rp. 217.7 billion. Projects built include the construction of student dormitories in Jayapura.
While Simon got six packages worth Rp179.4 billion and Marten got three work packages with a value of Rp9.4 billion. This work was obtained by the three private sector after they agreed with Ricky to give money.
From the receipt, Ricky was then suspected of laundering money by spending to disguise the proceeds of bribes and gratuities. There were a number of assets confiscated, from luxury cars to apartments.
