JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators plan to conduct a search at the Office of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) on Friday, November 27.

This search was carried out after the hand-catching operation (OTT) that caught the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo. In this case, the Gerindra politician is a suspect in accepting bribes allegedly related to the export license for fry.

"Hopefully tomorrow we will carry out a thorough search of the processes as we know from the results of the initial investigation," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement Karyoto in a press conference broadcast on the KPK YouTube account, Thursday, November 26.

Even though the search was carried out several days after the arrest was made, the KPK believes the evidence in the building will remain safe. Because, they have sealed a number of existing rooms.

"Yesterday we already sealed (a number of rooms, red). So maybe from yesterday no one entered the place we were going to search," he said.

Previously reported, in addition to establishing Edhy Prabowo as a suspect, the KPK named five other people as recipients of bribes, namely: Stafsus Minister of KKP Safri (SAF) and Andreau Pribadi Misanta (APM); Management of PT Aero Citra Kargo (PT ACK) Siswadi (SWD); The staff of the wife of the Minister of KKP, Ainul Faqih, and Amiril Mukminin (AM).

Meanwhile, the giver of the bribe was the Director of PT Dua Putra Perkasa Pratama (PT DPPP) Suharjito (SJT).

Edhy Prabowo and a number of suspects were arrested by the KPK prosecution team at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng, Tangerang upon arrival from Honolulu, Hawaii, United States.

In this case, Edhy allegedly received Rp3.4 billion in bribes, which was then used as much as Rp. 750 million to buy luxury goods in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. The items he bought were in the form of bags, clothes, and luxury Rolex watches.
