JAKARTA - The Regent of Langkat, North Sumatra, Issuing a Plan to Warn the Winds has been named a corruption suspect by the KPK. The evidence for the arrest operation (OTT) is a bribe of IDR 786 million.

Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, explained that the hand arrest operation (OTT) was initiated by information from the public. There is a facilitation fee from the private sector aka the contractor of Muara Perangin Angin aka MR.

"It is suspected that there has been previous communication and agreement that will be given by MR. The KPK team immediately moved and followed several parties, including MR, who withdrew some money from a regional bank," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron at a press conference at the KPK building, Thursday, January 20 in the morning.

The KPK said that there were other related parties, namely Marcos Surya Abadi (MSA), Suhanda Citra (SC) who is also a private contractor/contractor, and the Regent of Langkat Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin waiting at the coffee shop.

“MR then met MSA, SC, and IS at the coffee shop and immediately handed over the cash. The KPK team immediately arrested and secured MR, MSA, SC, and IS (Isfi Syafitra contractor) along with money to the Binjai Police Station," continued Ghufron.

After the arrest, the KPK team moved to the private house of the Langkat Regent Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin (TRP).

“Then the KPK team headed to the TRP's private residence to secure the TRP and UTI. However, when they arrived at the location, information was obtained that the existence of the TRP and UTI were no longer there and it was suspected that they had deliberately avoided being chased by the KPK Team," said Ghufron.

During the OTT process, the KPK team received information that the Langkat Regent issued a Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin (TRP) to surrender to the Binjai Police.

After that, at around 15.45 western Indonesia time, Wednesday, January 19, a request for information was made against the person concerned.

"The arrested parties along with evidence of money in the amount of IDR 786 million were then taken to the KPK's Merah Putih building for further examination," continued Ghufron.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) emphasized that the evidence of money that was secured by the team was allegedly only a small part of the receipts made by the Langkat Regent Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin (TRP) through his trusted people.
