BATAM - Two fully attributed police officers were seen escorting KPK investigators while searching a house suspected of being the company's office belonging to the former head of Makassar Customs andhi Pramono at Jodoh Permai Housing, Batam City, Riau Islands, today.
Based on ANTARA's monitoring at the location, several investigators were already in the yellow house carrying equipment.
The two police officers escorted in a complete uniform with long-barreled weapons.
There has been no official information yet obtained in the field regarding the search activity. Until this news was published, Tuesday afternoon, searches were still ongoing.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the office of PT Bahari Berkah Madani (BBM) which is located in Batam City, Riau Islands, as part of an investigation into the alleged corruption case for the suspect, the former head of the Makassar Customs and Excise Office Andhi Pramono (AP).
"To complete the case files for suspect AP, today, the KPK investigating team conducted a search of the PT BBM (Bahari Berkah Madani) office in the Batam area," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri when confirmed in Jakarta, Tuesday.
However, Ali has not been able to provide further information about the activity because the search is still ongoing.
On Friday (7/7), the KPK detained Andhi Pramono as a suspect in the alleged case of receiving gratuities and money laundering (TPPU). Andhi is suspected of using his position to facilitate entrepreneurs and accept gratuities as a reward.
As a broker, AP is suspected of connecting interimportors to find logistical goods sent from Singapore and Malaysia, including to Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
