JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate the extortion of the non-active Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro which was carried out by his staff, Dias Oktavianto together with his father, Lilik Budi Suprianto.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said that the investigation was carried out by examining Anom and Lilik as suspects on Wednesday, August 12. In addition to completing the file, the leak of the case file was also investigated, which was then used as a tool to extort.

"We need information, we need an explanation, why the document could reach these parties. In fact, it is an internal KPK document that should not be in the hands of the suspect," Budi told reporters quoted on Thursday, August 13.

Budi said investigators found a number of case documents during a search of a number of silent post-operation locations.

"This means that we need to deepen the modus operandi and practices carried out in the alleged extortion, what are the instruments that were later used by these suspects in carrying out their actions to carry out the alleged extortion against these parties," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK has named four people related to the alleged extortion after the hand-in-hand (OTT) operation in the Jakarta and Pemalang regions. They are Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro, Mohamad Haris as his trusted person, Setya Budi Dias as an administrative staff of the KPK from the National Police, and Lilik Budi Suprianto who is a private citizen and also Dias' father.

Dias is suspected of leaking information on the handling of cases at the KPK to his father, Lilik Budi Suprianto, through a short message application.

Lilik then used the information to convince Anom that he had access to the development of the case because his son worked at the KPK.

Furthermore, Anom, Lilik, and Gus Haris met three times in Magelang and Semarang.

During the meeting, Lilik asked for a case management fee of Rp2 billion. Haris, however, only handed over Rp1.2 billion, which was allegedly collected from blackmailing a number of regional devices and private partners in Pemalang Regency.

As a result of their actions, Anom and Haris are suspected of violating Article 12 letter e and/or Article 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes jo Article 20 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Law Code.
