Kulon Progo Prosecutor's Office Investigates Management and Local Government Regarding Alleged Corruption at PT SAK
The Kulon Progo Prosecutor’s Office is continuing its investigation into alleged corruption related to financial management at PT Selo Adikarto (SAK) between 2016 and 2024. The investigation process is still ongoing, and a number of witnesses have been examined.
The Head of Intelligence at the Kulon Progo Prosecutor’s Office, Hendra, said that the investigative team is carrying out the investigation process to collect evidence. He said that a total of 25 witnesses have been examined, consisting of PT SAK executives and the Kulon Progo Regional Government.
“The investigative team has examined 25 witnesses, consisting of PT Selo Adikarto executives and the Kulon Progo Regional Government,” said Hendra in a written statement, Tuesday (24/2/2026).
Hendra explained that the investigative team had requested a public accountant to calculate the company’s financial statements for the period 2016-2024.
“The results will be submitted to the auditor to calculate the financial losses to the state,” he said.
In addition, his party also requested an investment audit from the YKPN Polytechnic. The aim is to ensure the flow of funds in and out during the period 2016-2024.
“The investigators have also requested an investment audit from the YKPN Polytechnic to be carried out to calculate the financial losses to the state in this case,” he concluded.
PT SAK Operations Stopped Following Corruption Case
Previously reported, the Regent of Kulon Progo, Agung Setyawan, temporarily stopped the operations of one of the Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD), namely PT Selo Adikarto (SAK). This step was taken because the company, which is engaged in the construction and asphalt processing industry, was involved in an alleged corruption case.
This case has entered the investigation stage to determine who the
suspect is behind the alleged bribery.
“Not an investigation, but it has reached the investigation stage. (Suspect?) There isn’t one yet, but there are two pieces of evidence,” said Agung when met by reporters after a meeting with the Kulon Progo DPRD at the Kulon Progo DPRD Complex, Monday (14/7/2025).
Agung said that he had issued letter No. 500/2531 to the directors of PT. SAK regarding the termination of business and operations dated July 8, 2025. This termination is valid until the case surrounding the company is resolved.
“There is no revocation, because there is no dissolution. What exists is a suspension until the process is completed. If tomorrow morning SAK shows that everything is clear and there are no legal issues, then it will be resolved,” he said.
Regarding his meeting with the Kulon Progo DPRD, Agung said that the focus was on discussing the completion of the problem. Agung wants the SAK party to be cooperative so that this case can be resolved soon.
“In fact, it tends to be about how to cooperate so that everything is resolved, so that everything is safe. So that everything can proceed quickly so that SAK can work again,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the Head of Intelligence at the Kulon Progo Prosecutor’s Office, Awan Prastyo Luhur, confirmed that his party was handling the alleged corruption case of PT. SAK in 2016-2024. “We have examined from the ranks of directors, employees to supervisors,” he said.
Awan said that in this case, there is an allegation that PT. SAK manipulated financial report data. In the financial report, PT. SAK claimed to continue to suffer losses, even though business activities continued to run.
“So there is an indication that the financial report does not reflect the facts,” he said.
Awan stated that this case is still ongoing and so far no one has been named a suspect. “As soon as possible, we will ask the authorized agency to conduct an audit. The suspect will await confirmation of the violation and the value of state losses,” he said.
