The Envelope Of The Attack Of The Governor Of Bengkulu Called The KPK Has Been Distributed Partly

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the envelope of the Bengkulu Governor's dawn attack had been partially spread. This gift to the community is because he is advancing again as a candidate for incumbent.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika when asked about the envelope with the picture of the Rohidin Mersyah-Meriani pair who was also confiscated during a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Saturday, November 23.

"There is no total calculation of how much, there is no complete information for anyone, but what is clear is that it is strongly suspected that some of the envelopes have been distributed," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 26.

Tessa said investigators had confirmed that the envelope would be distributed in the Rohidin electoral district. The goal is for the public to have it in the Bengkulu gubernatorial election.

The nominal varies from Rp. 100,000, the largest to Rp. 20,000, explained Tessa. "For those who have already been secured, it is intended to be distributed in order for the recipient to choose the person concerned for the nomination as regional head, in this case the governor of Bengkulu," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

"(The amount, red) is still being investigated by investigators. The contents of the envelope, the information I got varied between Rp. 100,000, Rp. 50,000, and Rp. 20,000," continued Tessa.

Previously reported, the KPK held a hand arrest operation (OTT) in Bengkulu Province on Saturday, November 23 and brought eight people for questioning. Three people were later named as suspects, namely Bengkulu Governor Rohidin Mersyah, Bengkulu Provincial Secretary (Sekda) Isnan Fajri and Evrianshah alias Anca who is the Adc Governor of Bengkulu.

When the OTT was carried out, investigators found IDR 7 billion in rupiah currency denominations, US dollars, and Singapore dollars. The extortion and acceptance of gratuities is said to finance Rohidin, who is back running as a candidate for incumbent.

As a result of his actions, these three suspects are suspected of violating Article 12 letter e and Article 12B in Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended in Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 of the Criminal Code.
