JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the Mayor of Bandung, Yana Mulyana, did not only get money from companies working on the Bandung Smart City project.

Yana Mulyana and her family as well as the Head of the Bandung City Government Transportation Service Dadang Darmawan and the Secretary of the Bandung City Government Transportation Service Khairul Rijal were facilitated and even received pocket money for release to Thailand.

"Around January 2023, YM and his family, DD and KR also received facilities to Thailand using a budget belonging to PT SMA," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Sunday, April 16 in the morning.

PT SMA or Sarana Mitra Adiguna is one of the companies that provides CCTV services and internet services in the Bandung Smart City program.

Apart from getting facilities, the Manager of PT Sarana Mitra Adiguna (SMA) Andreas Guntoro also gave money to this group to snack in Thailand.

"YM then used the pocket money by buying a pair of LV branded shoes," said Ghufron.

Bandung Mayor Yana Mulyana was caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Friday night, April 14. He was later named a suspect along with five people.

They are the Head of the Bandung City Government Transportation Service Dadang Darmawan; Secretary of the Bandung City Government Transportation Service Khairul Rijal, Director of PT Sarana Mitra Adiguna, Benny; CEO of PT Citra Jelajah Informatika (CIFO) Sony Setiadi; and Manager of PT Sarana Mitra Adiguna (SMA) Andreas Guntoro.
