Eight officials in Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency, South Sumatra, who were caught in a sting operation (OTT) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) were brought to Palembang by land to be flown to Jakarta for further processing.

OKU Police Chief AKBP Imam Zamroni said that the officials were dispatched at around 22.30 WIB by the KPK investigating team.

"Yes, last night at around 22.30 WIB they were immediately taken by the KPK investigating team to Palembang to be flown to Jakarta to undergo further investigation," said Imam Zamroni, quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, March 16.

The eight people caught by OTT consisted of Nov, Head of the OKU PUPR Service, three members of the OKU DPRD, namely FE from PDIP, FA from Hanura, and UM from PPP, as well as three ASN within the local office and a contractor. After undergoing examination by KPK investigators at the OKU Police Headquarters, they were dispatched using seven cars to Palembang before being flown to Jakarta.

"This KPK group will go directly to Palembang and will then depart for Jakarta," said the OKU Police Chief.

In addition to arresting these officials, the KPK also secured a sum of money as evidence in this OTT, which was also brought for further processing.

The police chief added that KPK investigators plan to return to Baturaja, OKU Regency, on Monday, March 17, 2025, to conduct a search at the OKU PUPR Service Office.

Regarding the case that ensnared Nov and his colleagues, the Police Chief admitted that he did not know for sure because his party did not participate in the operation.

"We just have to provide a place," he said.
