Corruption Eradication Commission Investigation Director Achmad Taufik Husein explained that the illicit funds flowed from contractors and project service providers in the Klaten Regency area. Most of these bribes were given directly by a private party named Muhammad Amin Wahyu Utomo.
The process of handing over the facilitation money also involved the Head of the Protocol and Communications Section, Chairman Rizqan Iryawan as an intermediary. From this intermediary, the regional head received funds amounting to IDR 1.90 billion to pay off political financial obligations.
Apart from contractor projects, the regional leadership also receives funds from the C mining sector as well as official salary collections. The accumulated receipt of illegal money from various sources from last year until now has reached around IDR 4.3 billion.
As a result of this corruption act, the official anti-corruption agency named the regent along with private parties and related officials as suspects. All suspects must now undergo the first period of detention in the red and white building detention center for the legal process.
