The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it will develop a case of alleged bribery of grant funds from groups of people in East Java (East Java). A number of names will be summoned in the process of investigating the case that ensnared the Chairman of the East Java DPRD, Sahat Tua Simanjuntak.

"There is still a possibility of tracing and proving that certain people's profiles when linked to their income will be visible," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto as quoted from YouTube, Monday, December 19.

Karyoto ensured that this search was important to find out who the parties involved in the East Java Provincial Government grant funds were.

"It's not mapped. It's dismantled. If it mapping it's as if we know there's this (playing, red)," he said.

Sahat was named a suspect along with three other people. They are the expert staff, Rusdi; Abdul Hamid who is the Head of Jelgung Village, Robatal District, Sampang Regency who is also the Coordinator of the Community Group; and Ilham Wahyudi alias Eeng who is the Coordinator of the Pokmas Field.

The determination of Sahat and three other suspects was made after they were caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Wednesday, December 14. This action is based on information from the public who know about the handover of money related to the management of the allocation of grant funds.

In this case, Sahat allegedly offered assistance to facilitate the proposed grant funds, which totaled Rp7.8 trillion. This provision is intended for bodies, institutions, community organizations in the East Java Provincial Government.

Sahat said that the KPK had received it since 2021 and continued until 2022 and was then willing to help for 2023 and 2024. The money received by the Golkar Party politician is thought to have reached Rp5 billion.
