JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators confiscated a villa unit with a land area of 2 hectares. The villa, which is thought to belong to the former Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo, is located in Cijengkol Village, Cibadak District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java.

"KPK investigators today, February 18, at around 18.00 WIB confiscated 1 villa unit along with an area of approximately 2 hectares," said Acting KPK spokesman for prosecution Ali Fikri in his written statement, Thursday, February 18.

The villa that was seized is suspected to be related to the bribery case for the export of fries or lobster seeds that ensnared Edhy.

"It is suspected that the villa belongs to the EP suspect and was purchased with money collected from exporters who obtained permission to ship lobster seeds to the KKP," he said.

Furthermore, after the confiscation was carried out, the investigation team then put up a seizure sign on the villa.

As previously reported, in the case of the export bribery of lobster fry or lobster seeds, Edhy Prabowo was named a suspect in receiving bribes along with five other people, namely: Stafsus Minister of KKP Safri (SAF) and Andreau Pribadi Misanta (APM); Management of PT Aero Citra Kargo (PT ACK) Siswadi (SWD); The staff of the wife of the Minister of KKP, Ainul Faqih, and Amiril Mukminin (AM).

Meanwhile, the giver of the bribe was the Director of PT Dua Putra Perkasa Pratama (PT DPPP) Suharjito (SJT).

Edhy was named a suspect because he was suspected of accepting bribes from companies that had been issued a lobster seed export license using a forwarder company and were kept in one account up to Rp9.8 billion.

The money that goes to the account of PT ACK, which is currently the sole cargo service provider for the export of lobster seeds, is then withdrawn to the accounts of PT ACK holders, namely Ahmad Bahtiar and Amri, for a total of Rp9.8 billion.

Furthermore, on November 5, 2020, Ahmad Bahtiar transferred Rp3.4 billion to the staff account of Edhy's wife, Ainul, which was earmarked for the needs of Edhy, his wife Iis Rosyati Dewi, Safri, and Andreau.

This money is used for shopping for luxury goods by Edhy and his wife in Honolulu, USA from November 21 to 23, 2020, amounting to around IDR 750 million, including Rolex watches, Tumi and LV bags, road bikes, and Old Navy clothes.

In addition, around May 2020, Edhy was also suspected of receiving 100 thousand US dollars from Suharjito through Safri and Amiril.
