Bupati Pati Sudewo has returned the suspected corruption funds of DJKA, but the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) emphasizes that this does not dismiss the ongoing investigation.

The Pati District Court (Dasco) has initiated the process for Sudewo's impeachment, stating that it is proceeding according to the correct legal channels. The Pati Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) has formed a special committee to investigate Sudewo's impeachment, with Dasco confirming that the process is on track.
