JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated the Toyota Land Cruiser belonging to Chairul Fadhly Harahap as Secretary of the Directorate General of Manpower and Safety and Health Supervision (Binwasnaker & K3) of the Ministry of Manpower. This forced effort was carried out by investigators on Tuesday, August 26.

"We have secured the vehicle from CFH's brother, one of the officials at the Ministry of Manpower," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, August 27.

After the confiscation was carried out, Budi said investigators would examine Chairul. The goal is to confirm the evidence.

"Later, of course, this CFH brother will be summoned and examined to confirm the vehicle that we have confiscated," he said.

"Where in this confiscation, investigators suspect that the assets are derived or related to allegations of extortion in the issuance of K3 certificates at the Ministry of Manpower," Budi continued.

As for this case, investigators have confiscated 24 vehicles. Most of the so-called KPK comes from Irvian Bobby Mahendro or what is called sultan as Coordinator for Institutional Affairs and Personnel K3.

Previously reported, the KPK named 11 suspects in connection with the alleged extortion in the management of 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;

4. Anitasari Kusumawati as Coordinator of Partnership 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 the coordinator;

10. Temurila as the party of PT KEM Indonesia; and

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

The determination of the suspect began with an intensive examination and had found two pieces of evidence. 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.
