KPK Confiscates 2 Cars Extorted By K3 Certification Allegedly Hidden By Immanuel Ebenezer

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated two cars that were allegedly hidden by the former Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer today. The four-wheeled vehicle is now in the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"The KPK will again confiscate two four-wheeled vehicles suspected of being linked to one of the suspects, namely the IEG suspect," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 9.

From field observations, the two cars are a black Mercedes Benz sedan and a 4x4 BJ40 Plus SUV which is also dark.

In addition to these two cars, there was also a land cruise escorted by Immanuel.

The three cars were known to have been moved from the official residence when they were about to be confiscated for allegedly related to extortion in the management of work safety and health certification (K3).

The transfer was carried out after Immanuel was caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT) some time ago.

"Previously, we said that the KPK had indeed searched three four-wheeled vehicles suspected of being involved in this case which was controlled by brother IEG," he said.

"From the three, previously one had been delivered and today the two vehicles were brought back by the KPK," continued Budi.

Previously reported, the KPK named 11 suspects in connection with the alleged extortion of handling work safety and health certificates (K3). This determination began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) that arrested 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 of 2022-2025; 2. Gerry Aditya Herwanto Putra as Coordinator for Testing and Evaluation of Work Safety Competency until now; 3. Subhan as Sub-Coordinator of Work Safety Dit. K3 Development in 2020-2025;4. Anitasari Kusumawati as Coordinator of Partnerships 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 coordinator; 10. Temurila as PT KEM Indonesia; and 11. Miki Mahfud as PT KEM Indonesia's party.

The determination of the suspect began with an intensive examination and found two pieces of evidence after the silent operation was carried out. 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.
