JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) immediately stepped on the gas to examine the Deputy Chairman of the East Java DPRD, Sahat Tua Simanjuntak. This examination was carried out after being taken to the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"Currently, the four people arrested in Surabaya have arrived at the KPK's Red and White Building and the team will immediately conduct an examination," said Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri, to reporters, Thursday, December 15.

Ali said this examination was carried out to investigate the alleged bribery that occurred while determining the suspects. The public is asked to be patient because the team is still working.

"The examination is to determine whether there are allegations of criminal incidents and find parties that can be legally accounted for so that they are improved in the investigation process," he explained.

The KPK ensures that every development will be made public. Investigators have 1x24 hours and announcements will be made through a press conference.

Previously, the KPK arrested Sahat and three other people including an expert staff with a private sector during a hand arrest operation (OTT) in Surabaya, Wednesday night, December 14. It is suspected that bribery was related to grant funds from community groups in East Java.

"KPK has arrested alleged corruption related to grant funds to community groups," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to reporters, Thursday, December 15.

There was some money found in the activity. However, the amount has not been detailed because it is still in the process of being counted.
