JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) coordinates with the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) after holding a hand arrest operation (OTT) in West Java that ensnared Bogor Regent Ade Yasin. The coordination was carried out because there was a BPK representative from West Java who was also involved in the activity.

"The arrest activity that took place in Bogor Regency involved West Java BPK personnel. We are currently coordinating for an explanation together with the institution where the person works," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri through his Twitter account, @firlibahuriofficial, Tuesday, April 27.

Firli has not explained in detail the results of the coordination. He only asked the public to be patient and give the anti-corruption commission time to investigate the silent operation.

"Please be patient so that KPK investigators can find all the evidence needed to identify a suspect. The law gives the KPK 24 hours to find evidence," wrote the former deputy for prosecution.

The KPK carried out a silent operation from Tuesday night, April 26 to Wednesday morning, April 27. Apart from Ade Yasin, there was another party who was also brought in by investigators, namely a member of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) for the West Java Representative.

"(Parties arrested, ed) include the Regent of Bogor Regency, several parties from the West Java Representative BPK and other related parties," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters.

Ali said the arrests were made in connection with the alleged bribery. However, he did not elaborate further regarding the construction of the case because the investigation was still being carried out.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, said that money was also secured in the activities carried out in Bogor, West Java. However, he hasn't specified how many.

"KPK is actively making arrests in the Bogor area, West Java, and has secured several parties and some money and other evidence," he said.
