JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Detention Center (Rutan) officer who is suspected of committing immoral acts with the wife of the detainee is now transferred. This transfer is pending the results of the disciplinary examination.

"It is still assigned to the guard of the building," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, June 26.

Ali ensured that this officer would receive additional punishment other than from the KPK Supervisory Board. This is because the examination process by the team for examining disciplinary violations is ongoing.

"This is different from other ministries or institutions. At the KPK there is a violation of the code of ethics and it is also followed up with recommendations for examination of disciplinary violations," he said.

Previously, KPK investigator Novel Baswedan revealed allegations of immorality at the KPK detention center. This made the receipt of illegal levies revealed.

"There is an immoral case against the wife of a KPK detainee," Novel told reporters in a written statement, Friday, June 23.

Novel did not specify the immoral act. However, from the information circulating the employee was named Mustarsidin.

This act allegedly occurred from August to October 2022 and was only revealed in January 2023. Mustarsidin is suspected of harassing the wife of a detainee at the KPK detention center by asking for a photo of a sensitive area.

This act was later sentenced to moderate ethics by the KPK Supervisory Board. This submission was carried out last April.
