KPK Prepares To Trace The Flow Of Edhy Prabowo's Benur Bribe Fund To The Party

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will trace the flow of funds suspected of bribes received by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo, regarding the licensing of lobster seeds or fries. Tracing was also carried out on all parties who received this flow of funds.

"The flow of funds takes time because what we have shown tonight is only one incident where several companies exist," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement Karyoto at the KPK building, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 25.

When asked about the search for money allegedly flowing to Gerindra, the party of Edhy Prabowo, Karyoto did not answer straightforwardly. He only emphasized that the KPK would cooperate with PPATK to trace the flow of Edhy Prabowo's bribery funds.

"We will coordinate with PPATK where the funds flow," said Karyoto.

This case was revealed when the KPK conducted a hand arrest (OTT) operation at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. From there the KPK secured 17 people including Edhy Prabowo and his wife. They were arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes related to fry.

From the case title, the KPK named 7 people as suspects. One of them is Edhy Prabowo, and five recipients of bribes, namely SAS, APM, SW, AS and AN. Meanwhile, the gift giver is SYT.

The suspected recipients are suspected of Article 12 paragraph 1 letter a or b or article 11 of Law 31 1999 as amended by Law 20 of 2001 on corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code jo Article 64 paragraph 1.
