JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya confirmed that his party had investigated the alleged bribery case of Rachel Vennya worth Rp40 million against the Soekarno-Hatta Airport protocol, Ovelina. In fact, the results of the investigation have been listed on the former investigation.

"Yes, it was already (investigated)," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Thursday, December 16.

The investigation was carried out simultaneously in the case of Rachel Vennya's escape from Wisma Atlet Pademangan. Where, the results of the investigation and investigation into the bribery case were included in the case file for suspect Ovelina.

"Yes, that person (Ovelina) has actually two files," said Zulpan.

However, it is acknowledged that the bribery case was only revealed during the trial. Because, during the investigation and investigation process, only Rachel Vennya's actions were foggy from the quarantine period.

"Only people know (the escape) is Rachel Vennya," said Zulpan.

Previously, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD requested that Rachel Vennya's gift of Rp40 million to airport protocol, Ovelina, be investigated thoroughly.

Initially, Mahfud said the problem of illegal fees is still happening. In fact, he said, there was an artist who was willing to pay Rp. 40 million to avoid being quarantined after returning from abroad.

"Just now we heard that an artist ran away, did not participate in quarantine, was arrested by the police and it was proven in court that he paid Rp40 million to the officer. This officer is a private employee but the deposit is to an ASN. That's extortion," said Mahfud.
