used money allegedly resulting from extortion related to the addition of the 2025 budget allocated to the UPT Roads and Bridges for Regions I-VI of the PUPR PKPP Service to go to a number of countries.
“There are some who need to go abroad, to England, this is why there are pounds sterling because one of the activities is going or visiting abroad. There is also a trip to Brazil. The last one wants to go to Malaysia,” said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the Corruption Eradication Committee, Asep Guntur Rahayu, in a press conference at his office, Jakarta, Wednesday (5/11) afternoon.
Apart from Abdul Wahid, the KPK named two other people as suspects in the alleged case of extortion and/or receiving gratuities.

The two suspects in question are Dani M. Nursalam and Head of the PUPR PKPP Service M. Arief Setiawan.They have been detained for the first 20 days until November 23 2025.
Abdul Wahid was appointed as Governor of Riau along with his companion, SF Hariyanto, by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in February 2025. Shortly after taking office, Abdul Wahid was suspected of having evil plans to seek income through illegal channels.
Three months after the inauguration, to be precise in May 2025, a meeting was held in a cafe in Pekanbaru City between Ferry Yunanda as Secretary of the PUPR PKPP Service for Riau Province and 6 Heads of UPT Regions I-VI, PUPR PKPP Service, to discuss the ability to give Abdul Wahid a fee of 2.5 percent.
Corruption Eradication Commission Deputy Chairman Johanis Tanak said the fee was related to the addition of the 2025 budget allocated to the UPT Roads and Bridges for Regions I-VI of the PUPR PKPP Service, which was originally IDR 71.6 billion to IDR 177.4 billion (an increase of IDR 106 billion).
Ferry Yunanda conveyed the results of the meeting to M. Arief Setiawan as Head of the PUPR PKPP Service for Riau Province.However, M. Arief Setiawan, who represented Abdul Wahid, asked for a fee of 5 percent or IDR 7 billion.
Those who do not comply with this order will be threatened with removal or transfer from their position.”Among the PUPR PKPP Riau Service, this request is known as ‘preman quota’,” said Johanis Tanak.
Furthermore, all Heads of Regional UPTs for the PUPR PKPP Service along with the Secretary of the PUPR PKPP Service for Riau Province met again and agreed on a fee amount for Abdul Wahid of 5 percent.The results of the meeting were then reported to the Head of the Riau Province PUPR PKPP Service using the code language “7 stems”.
From this agreement, there will be at least three allocation fee deposits in June, August and November 2025.
It was during this third gift that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) team carried out a Capture Operation (OTT) by confiscating evidence in the form of cash amounting to IDR 800 million.
In this silent operation, the KPK team moved to search and seal Abdul Wahid’s house in the South Jakarta area.
From the results of the search, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) team secured a sum of money in foreign denominations, namely: 9,000 Pounds Sterling and US$3,000 or if converted into rupiah worth IDR 800 million.
Abdul Wahid, Dani M. Nursalam, and M. Arief Setiawan are suspected of violating Article 12 letter e and/or Article letter f and/or Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 1 of the Criminal Code.
