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;

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