Cilacap Regent Syamsul Auliya Rachman and Cilacap Regional Secretary Sadmoko Danardono were observed seated within a detention vehicle following their examination at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Saturday, March 14. This appearance marked a critical moment in their legal proceedings.
Subsequent to their rigorous questioning, both individuals were officially declared suspects by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and were immediately taken into custody. They were prominently seen wearing the characteristic orange vests of KPK detainees, their wrists secured with handcuffs, signaling the gravity of their new status as alleged perpetrators of corruption.
The duo faces accusations of extorting local regional officials to illicitly collect funds for holiday bonuses, known as THR (Tunjangan Hari Raya). Investigations revealed that a substantial amount of Rp 610 million was allegedly amassed through these coercive actions. This considerable sum was purportedly intended for distribution among the Forkopimda (Regional Leadership Coordination Forum) and, significantly, for the personal enrichment of Syamsul Auliya, underscoring a blatant abuse of power for private gain.
