Immanuel Ebenezer Mau Jadi "Justice Collaborator", Siap Buka-bukaan Di KPK!

JAKARTA - Former Deputy Minister Immanuel Ebenezer is reportedly ready to submit himself as a justice collaborator to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He is currently a suspect in the alleged extortion of the management of work safety and health certification (K3) at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker).

VOI sources said Immanuel Ebenezer, who is now being held at the KPK Detention Center, intends to cooperate with the anti-corruption commission. He is ready to help investigators uncover other figures who participate in the chaotic practice that is being investigated.

Justice collaborators are criminals who cooperate with law enforcers to help reveal a criminal act by providing significant information or information.

Meanwhile, Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu admitted that he had heard about Immanuel's plan to become a justice collaborator. However, his party has not received an official letter from the former deputy minister in President Prabowo Subianto's cabinet.

"I've heard about it. But the official letter doesn't exist yet," Asep said when confirmed via text message, Wednesday, September 17.

Meanwhile, Immanuel Ebenezer stated that he would cooperate in undergoing the ongoing legal process. This statement was made after undergoing examination as a suspect some time ago.

"We are very cooperative with investigators. Because we also support what the KPK is doing and I also admit that it is wrong," Immanuel told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 2.

"And they (investigators, ed) respect my gentle attitude admitting my mistake. So this is regret in my life," he continued.

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.

In this case, Immanuel Ebenezer is said to have received IDR 3 billion in December 2024 and was used to renovate his house. Then, he also got one Ducati motorbike.

This gift is said to have come from Irvian, who was called Immanuel as the sultan because he was considered the richest person in the Ministry of Manpower.

In addition, Immanuel Ebenezer, also called the KPK, has acknowledged that there have been receipts during his tenure apart from the extortion of K3 certification from the Ministry of Manpower. This statement was made by the KPK after finding three other cars, namely Mercedes Benz, Land Cruiser, and BAIC which had been hidden from their official residence after OTT.

The car has now been confiscated by the anti-corruption commission after Immanuel Ebenezer, who is suspected of hiding, made a return. However, the KPK is still closing down those who hide and deliver the car.
