BANDAR LAMPUNG - A team of investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated cash in plastic bags and backpacks after searching the luxurious house of the inactive Chancellor of the University of Lampung (Unila) Karomani in Bandarlampung.

The Head of Rajabasa Jaya, Bandarlampung City, Sumarno, who also witnessed the search by the KPK investigators, confirmed this.

"I was also watching. There was cash in a plastic bag and a backpack that was secured by the KPK investigators," said Sumarno in Bandarlampung, Antara, Wednesday, August 24.

In addition to cash, said Sumarno, the KPK investigation team also confiscated a number of items, such as receipts, certificates, a laptop unit, and a flash disc belonging to suspect Karomani.

"For the nominal amount of money, I don't know how much was confiscated; but it was in the fifty thousand and one hundred thousand bills that were in Pak Karomani's office at the house," he explained.

According to Sumarno, Karomani recently occupied the luxury house in the village of Rajabasa Jaya. "The person concerned just last month held a thanksgiving event for his house, so it hasn't been that long," he added.
