Alphard Rentalan Kemnaker Untuk Operasi Immanuel Ebenezer Dikembalikan KPK

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has returned a confiscated Toyota Alphard unit related to the alleged extortion of work safety and health certification (K3).

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the car was confiscated from the house of former Deputy Minister of Manpower Immanuel Ebenezer or Noel Ebenezer on August 26 after the arrest operation (OTT). However, investigators found that the car was rented by the Ministry of Manpower.

"That the car is a rental car carried out by the Ministry of Manpower which is intended for the operation of IEG's brother or NL's brother as deputy minister," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, October 6.

The facts regarding the rental of the Alphard car were obtained by investigators after summoning a number of parties, said Budi. Among them are the Secretariat General (Setjen) of the Ministry of Manpower to the private sector.

"The return of this vehicle is a professional step and progressive step for KPK investigators," said Budi.

"This means that the assets confiscated are assets that are really related to being used or the result of a criminal act of corruption. If it is in the process of being investigated then it is known that the confiscated assets are not related, then the investigator immediately returns the assets," 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 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;

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

In this case, Immanuel Ebenezer is said to have received IDR 3 billion in December 2024 and was used to renovate his house. 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.
