KPK Find Documents Related To Corruption Cases In Managing Mining Permits In East Kalimantan

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found evidence after conducting a search in East Kalimantan, including the residence of former East Kalimantan Governor Awang Faroek Ishak. Among them are documents related to the processing of mining permits.

"The evidence obtained is related to the documents for obtaining mining business permits," said KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, September 26.

"What year, when the person concerned served as governor," continued Asep.

Asep did not want to elaborate further on the investigation into the alleged corruption of the mining business license (IUP). However, he said it was suspected that bribery had occurred.

"Yes, that's right (the case in East Kalimantan is related to the gift or bribery, ed). This is related to the issue of the issuance of mining business permits," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK said it was investigating allegations of corruption related to mining business permits (IUP) in East Kalimantan. The investigation was carried out since 19 September.

In this case, three suspects have been named. The KPK has also searched a number of locations in East Kalimantan, including the house of former East Kalimantan Governor Awang Faroek Ishak.

In addition, the anti-corruption commission has also asked the Directorate General of Immigration to prevent three people from leaving the country. KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika said the three were AFI, DDWT, and ROC.

Meanwhile, based on the information obtained, two of them are Awang Faroek Ishak and his son, Dayang Dona Walfiares Tania or Payang Donna Faroek. Prevention is held for six months.
