JAKARTA - The regent of North Penajam Paser, Abdul Gafur Mas'ud, denied holding a meeting with top Democrats before being arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Wednesday, January 12.
"It's not true (there was a meeting at the mall, ed)," Abdul Gafur told reporters on Monday, January 17.
He did not say much more about his arrest. This includes the question of the investigation he just underwent at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
The KPK appointed Abdul Gafur with the Acting Secretary of the North Penajam Paser Regency, Mulyadi; Head of Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning of North Penajam Paser Regency Edi Hasmoro; and Head of the North Penajam Paser District Education, Youth and Sports Office, Jusman, and the Balikpapan Democratic Party DPC General Treasurer, Nur Afifah Balqis as bribe recipients.
Meanwhile, as a suspect for giving bribes, the KPK has named a private party named Achmad Zudi.
These six people were named as suspects in alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services as well as granting permits in North Penajam Paser Regency.
Their determination was initiated from a hand-catching operation (OTT) which was held on Wednesday, January 12 in two locations, namely Jakarta and North Kalimantan. From the results of the action, the KPK also confiscated Rp1 billion and Rp447 million in Balqis's account.
