KPK Holds OTT In 3 Locations: Southeast Sulawesi To Jakarta

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held a hand arrest operation (OTT) in three locations today, August 7. One of them is said to have occurred in the Jakarta area.

"It is true, that today we from the Deputy for Enforcement made arrests in several places in the Southeast Sulawesi area, then in Jakarta and which are still taking place in South Sulawesi," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 7.

Asep said that some of the parties caught in the silent operation were already in his office. There are a total of seven people.

Meanwhile, activities in South Sulawesi have yet to be completed. "I have said earlier that there are three locations, yes," he said.

"But those who have arrived here, namely the team in Jakarta with us to bring or secure three people, then our team from Kendari or Southeast Sulawesi has secured four people. So those who already exist (at the KPK's Merah Putih building, ed) means seven people to date," continued Asep, who is also the Director of KPK Investigation.

The OTT, continued Asep, relates to corruption in improving the quality or status of hospitals that use the Special Allocation Fund (DAK).

The parties that have been secured so far consist of the private sector and civil servants (PNS).

"Yes, the organizers will be. I haven't checked it yet, but what is clear is there. There must be because this is the concept of bribery, yes, from the private sector to state officials," he concluded.
