Arrested By The KPK, Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi Was Silent When He Arrived At The KPK

JAKARTA - Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi arrived at the KPK Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. He was arrested by the KPK on suspicion of corruption.

Rahmat Effendi arrived at around 22.55 WIB after being caught in a hand-catching operation (OTT) in the Bekasi area, West Java on Wednesday, January 5 at around 14.00 WIB.

Arriving at the KPK, Rahmat Effendi, who is familiarly called Kang Pepen, did not make any statements.

The Mayor of Bekasi, who wore a long-sleeved green shirt covered in a blue vest complete with a white mask, only walked while occasionally looking down.

As previously reported, the KPK carried out a silent operation in Bekasi, West Java. Apart from Pepen, a number of other people were also arrested, although no further details have been given.

In addition, during this activity, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) also found a sum of money that was allegedly related to the alleged corruption.

"We have secured several parties together with some money," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters.

Furthermore, the KPK has 1x24 hours to determine the suspects involved in this case, including the construction of the riot that occurred.

KPK chairman Firli Bahuri asked the public to be patient because his subordinates are still working.

"Later in time we will convey it to the public. Please let us work first," said Firli.
