After making a forced effort, investigators rushed with five suitcases. The details are two medium-sized suitcases, one small suitcase, one cardboard box, and a jejing bag (totebag).

KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika said her party confiscated a number of items suspected of being related to the bribery case for the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the DPR and the suspect Harun Masiku.

"That last night there was a search at the witness' house in the name of the initials DF. The information we got from investigators was found and confiscated documents and electronic evidence," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 23.
