JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board (Dewas) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will ethically examine the admin staff, Setya Budi Dias Oktavianto, who is a suspect in the alleged extortion of the non-active Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro. This step is taken so that similar incidents do not recur.

"We will continue to conduct inspections for evaluation so that it does not happen again for the future," said Chairman of the KPK Supervisory Board Gusrizal at the KPK Dewas Performance Achievement Conference Semester I 2026 at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Monday, August 3.

Dewas ensures that he will be careful to follow up on Dias' actions. This is because this figure is a member of the National Police who is seconded to the KPK.

"Whether it is included in the code of ethics, the problem now is that the status of the person concerned is a member of the National Police, so we need to be careful about the report. Is it returned to the police so that Dewas is not entitled to do, what, do an examination," he said.

Meanwhile, member of the KPK's Dewas, Benny Mamoto, said his party had coordinated with the KPK's Enforcement and Execution Department to investigate Dias.

"Because Dewas needs complete information so that we can review it, we analyze where the weaknesses are as a material for improvement in the future," Benny said on the same occasion.

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, a private party and 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.
