The determination of the suspect was carried out after the KPK carried out a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Thursday, August 11. During the operation, the team found evidence in the form of Rp. 136 million in cash, a Bank Mandiri savings book in the name of Adi Jumal Widodo which contained Rp. 4 billion, a BNI deposit slip in Adi Jumal's name worth Rp. 680 million, and an ATM card in the name of Adi Jumal used by Mukti.
After being named a suspect, Mukti was detained at the KPK Rutan in the Merah Putih building. While Adi occupies the KPK Detention Center in Lot C1.
Meanwhile, three other suspects are being held at the KPK Detention Center at Pomdam Jaya Guntur. The detentions were for the first 20 days until August 31.
The KPK revealed that Mukti set a tariff of between Rp. 60 million and Rp. 350 million. This is adjusted to the position that the candidate wants to occupy. The money Mukti received through Adi is thought to have reached Rp4 billion. Furthermore, the money is used for personal purposes.
