Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said investigators had searched the South Sulawesi Provincial PUTR Office and the South Sulawesi State Audit Board Office in Makassar City. During the search, evidence was found, including financial documents.
"At the two locations in question, various evidences were found and secured, including various financial statement documents allegedly related to the case," Ali told reporters in his written statement, Friday, July 22.

As previously reported, the KPK has developed a case against the former Governor of South Sulawesi, Nurdin Abdullah. Allegations of bribery in the examination of financial statements in the South Sulawesi Provincial Government are currently being targeted.
The anti-corruption commission said that the bribery for financial audits at the South Sulawesi Provincial Government allegedly occurred in the 2020 fiscal year at the South Sulawesi Public Works and Spatial Planning Service. However, the KPK has not specified the perpetrators.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata even said that the case developed from accepting bribes from former South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin Abdullah was similar to the alleged bribery committed by Bogor Regent Ade Yasin.
"More or less the same, this is a development and we know that there is a flow of money. There is a demand for money related to the audit process, right," said Alexander, Thursday, July 21 yesterday.
