BANDAR LAMPUNG - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigative team brought two suitcases suspected of containing a number of evidence after conducting a search at the Dean's building, Faculty of Medicine, University of Lampung (Unila).

The KPK search was related to the bribery case for accepting new students in 2022 which ensnared the chancellor and a number of campus officials.

Based on ANTARA's observations on the Unila campus, after conducting a search of Building A, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, eight KPK investigators immediately got into their vehicles.

The search at the Faculty of Medicine was carried out by KPK investigators from 09.00 WIB to 14.13 WIB.

As many as four cars with Jakarta police number plates (B) have been parked in the courtyard of the Unila Medical Faculty Dean Building since this morning.

"Yes, the KPK team at 09.00 WIB was already here, escorted by several members of the police," said Faeri, a security guard at the Faculty of Medicine.

He also did not know for sure what the KPK investigators were doing in the Dean's building because they were not allowed to enter.

"We don't know what they are doing because we are not allowed to go up. The police are also not allowed to go up, just guard," said Faeri.

After conducting a search of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, the KPK investigators immediately moved to conduct a search of the Dean of the Faculty of Law, which until this news was revealed was still ongoing.

Previously, on Monday (22/8), the KPK investigation team also conducted an examination for about 12 hours at the Unila Rectorate building. The examination was carried out in connection with the appointment of the Rector of Unila, Prof. Karomani as a suspect in the alleged bribery case of accepting new students in 2022 by the KPK.

In this case, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named four suspects, each of which is the Rector of Unila Karomani (KRM) together with the Vice Chancellor I for Academic Affairs, Unila Heryandi (HY), and the Chair of the Unila Senate, Muhammad Basri (MB). While the donor is the private sector Andi Desfiandi (AD).

In the construction of the case, the KPK explained that KRM, who served as Chancellor of Unila for the 2020-2024 period, had the authority, one of which was related to the mechanism for implementing the Independent Selection to Enter the University of Lampung (Simanila) for the 2022 Academic Year.

During the Simanila process, the KPK suspected that KRM was directly involved in determining the graduation of the Simanila participants by ordering HY and Budi Sutomo, and involving MB to participate in personal selection regarding the ability of students' parents.
