Develop PPATK Data, KPK Continues To Trace The Flow Of Extortion Money For K3 Certification

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the flow of extortion money related to the management of safety and health certification (K3) at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) would continue to be investigated. Data from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) is only being developed.

"KPK will track down and trace the results of this extortion for anyone, for anything," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters quoted on Thursday, August 27.

Budi said that from the start his party had known where the money was flowing. "KPK is also supported by data and information from PPATK related to these flows, what are the modes like," he said.

"One of the findings is the known accounts for extortion and related assets," said Budi.

"Therefore, in the process, either from the arrests or from the search activities, investigators then carried out security and confiscation of assets suspected of being related or assets suspected of originating from the money from the alleged extortion," he said.

As for this case, investigators have confiscated 24 vehicles. Most of the so-called anti-corruption commission comes from Irvian Bobby Mahendro or what is called sultan as Coordinator for Institutional Affairs and Personnel K3.

Previously reported, the KPK named 11 suspects in connection with the alleged extortion in the management of work safety and health certificates (K3) at the Ministry of Manpower. The determination began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) which netted 14 people, including the Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer.

The following is a list of suspects named by the KPK:

1. Irvian Bobby Mahendro as Coordinator for Institutional and Personnel Affairs K3 for 2022-2025;

2. Gerry Aditya Herwanto Putra as Coordinator for Testing and Evaluation of Work Safety Competence in 2022 until now;

3. Subhan as Sub-Coordinator for Work Safety Dit. Bina K3 for 2020-2025;

4. Anitasari Kusumawati as Coordinator of Partnership and Work Health Personnel in 2020 until now;

5. Immanuel Ebenezer Gerungan as Deputy Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia in 2024-2029;

6. Fahrurozi as Director General of Binwasnaker and K3 in March 2025 until now;

7. Hery Sutanto as Director of Institutional Development in 2021-February 2025;

8. Sekarsari Kartika Putri as sub-coordinator;

9. Supriadi as the coordinator;

10. Temurila as the party of PT KEM Indonesia; and

11. Miki Mahfud as the party of PT KEM Indonesia.

The determination of the suspect began with an intensive examination and had found two pieces of evidence. It is suspected that this extortion has been going on for a long time.

This allegation arose because of the large amount of evidence found, namely 15 cars and 7 motorbikes and Rp170 million and US$2,201 in cash.

Meanwhile, Immanuel Ebenezer has been removed from his position as Wamenaker by President Prabowo Subianto. This decision was taken after his legal status was announced by the KPK and submitted to the public by the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi.
