JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named 6 suspects, including the Mayor of Bandung, Yana Mulyana, after holding a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Friday night, April 14. However, two people were not shown due to exposure to COVID-19.

"Actually, there were six suspects in the alleged corruption case that was submitted. In front of us, only four of them turned out to be positive for COVID-19 so they were not shown," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Sunday, April 16 in the morning.

Ali did not specify who the suspect was exposed to COVID-19. Their condition was caught after health checks were carried out in the examination process which was carried out after the silent operation.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, said Yana and five people were suspects because they were suspected of receiving and giving bribes related to the procurement of CCTV and the internet network related to the Bandung Smart City program. During the arrest activity, the KPK found money in foreign and rupiah denominations.

Previously, Yana was arrested by the KPK along with 8 other people, including officials at the Bandung City Transportation Service. He then officially took the orange dream on Sunday morning, April 16 after undergoing an intensive examination.

For information, Yana was inaugurated as Mayor of Bandung on April 18, 2022. He initially filled the Oded M. Danial position who died on December 10, 2021.

He started his political career in the Gerindra Party in 2018. At that time Yana ran to become a candidate for Deputy Mayor of Bandung with Oded M. Danial and was elected.

He became the second Mayor of Bandung to be caught in a case in the anti-corruption commission. Previously, the KPK had named the Mayor of Bandung for the 2003-2013 period, Dada Rosada, as a suspect in the case of handling social assistance cases.

At that time, the chest with the Bandung Regional Secretary Edi Siswadi bribed the Bandung District Court judge, Setyabudi Tedjocahyono. The award was made so that his name would not be dragged into the social assistance corruption case, as well as the defendants in the social assistance corruption case, who were his subordinates, were lightly punished.

As a result of this act, Dada was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2014. The sentence was lighter than the demands of the KPK prosecutor who demanded that he be sentenced to 15 years in prison and has now been released from Sukamiskin Prison, Bandung, West Java.
