JAKARTA - After conducting a hand-catching operation against the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo and 16 other people, the Corruption Eradication Commission immediately conducted searches in a number of places.

One of them is the Home Office of Minister Edhy Prabowo on Jalan Widya Chandara V, South Jakarta. The search has been carried out by the KPK investigating team since noon, Wednesday, November 25.

Apart from the official residence, the KPK reportedly also searched Edhy's office at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. There is a strong suspicion that the search was carried out to find other evidence of the alleged corruption case of Minister Edhy. Then at that place there are traces of the parties that were secured.

However, unfortunately the KPK did not want to provide detailed information about this search. Including anything that was successfully confiscated from the search site.

As well as arresting the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo, the KPK also arrested 16 other people, one of whom was Edhy Prabowo's wife, Iis Rosita Dewi. This assurance was conveyed by the Acting Spokesperson for the KPK in the field of prosecution Ali Fikri.

"The total number currently secured by KPK officers is 17 people, including the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and his wife," Ali said in a written statement to journalists, Wednesday, November 25.

Apart from Edhy's wife, a number of elements who were also arrested in the incident were officials at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP).

"Apart from that, there are also some private parties," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the current condition, Edhy Prabowo is still undergoing intensive examination at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) office.

Furthermore, after the examination is carried out, the KPK will determine the parties to be named as suspects. The time held by the anti-grave institution is 1x24 hours.

This arrest was carried out by the prosecution team after Edhy and his entourage arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng, Tangerang, to be precise at Terminal 3 of Honolulu, Hawaii, United States.

He was allegedly arrested in connection with an alleged corruption case in the export of lobster fries or seeds.

In the process of arrest, the KPK sent three task forces. One of the task force teams was led by a senior KPK investigator, Novel Baswedan.
