GSW requested money from various Heads of Regional Device Organizations (OPD) and other officials, either directly or through intermediary YOG (Dwi Yoga Ambal), who serves as the Regent’s aide (ADC), with the total request amounting to approximately Rp 5 billion,” said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu during a press conference at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building on Saturday (11/4/2026). Asep stated that at least 16 department heads within the Tulungagung Regency Government were targeted for these quota payments, with amounts demanded ranging from Rp 15 million to Rp 2.8 billion. The quota money was requested by Dwi Yoga, as Gatut’s aide, from the department heads, with assistance from Sugeng, another regent’s aide. “From the total requests by GSW to the OPDs, which were at least Rp 5 billion, the realisation of funds received by GSW was approximately Rp 2.7 billion,” he said.
