JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has secured documents that are suspected of being related to the gratification case at the Batu City Government in 2011-2017.

Acting KPK spokesman for prosecution Ali Fikri said that this document was secured by investigators after they conducted a search in two places, including the official residence of the Mayor of Batu and the home of Eddy Rumpoko, the former Mayor of Batu, on Thursday, January 14.

"Some have been secured, including various documents related to this gratification case," Ali said in his written statement, Friday, January 15.

This evidence, he continued, would be further verified and analyzed.

"After that, confiscation will be carried out as evidence in the case," said Ali.

The KPK has conducted searches in a number of places to investigate gratification cases. Finally, KPK investigators conducted a search at one of the shops in Batu City, namely Toko Nusantara. It's just that at that time, there was no evidence related to the alleged case of graft.

For information, in September 2017, KPK investigators charged the Mayor of Batu, Eddy Rumpoko, in an arrest operation.

In this case, Eddy Rumpoko allegedly received a bribe worth Rp. 500 million related to the capital expenditure project and machinery for procurement of furniture at the Batu City Government for the 2017 Fiscal Year worth Rp.

The KPK named two other suspects in the case, namely the Head of the Batu City Government Procurement Service Unit, Edi Setyawan, and Filipus Djap, who is the Director of PT Dailbana Prima.
