JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is back to carry out an arrest operation (OTT). This time, the party arrested by the KPK was the Regent of Banggai Laut, Central Sulawesi, Wenny Bukamo.

KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri confirmed that there was a silent operation.

"Today, Thursday 3 December 2020 at 13.00 WIB, the Regent of Banggai Laut was arrested," Firli said when contacted by reporters via text message, Thursday, December 3.

However, Firli has not yet explained the case against Wenny. Because, currently his party is still waiting for a report from the task force team in the field.

"We are still waiting for the results of colleagues in the law enforcement in the field. Give time for comrades to work first," he said.

Previously, the KPK conducted a hand-arrest operation (OTT) against the Mayor of Cimahi, Ajay Muhammad Priatna. He was arrested for allegedly accepting bribes related to the construction of a hospital.

In addition, the KPK also carried out OTT on Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo, who was later appointed as the recipient of bribes related to the export of lobster fries or seeds.
