JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators conducted a search at the house of former Deputy Chairman of Commission VIII DPRIhsan Yunus located in the Pulogadung area, East Jakarta. It's just that, no evidence whatsoever was found in the house.

This search was carried out to find evidence related to the bribery case for the provision of social assistance (bansos) COVID-19 in the Jabodetabek area, which ensnared former Social Minister Juliari Peter Batubara.

"The search has been completed but so far no documents or items have been found related to this case," said Acting KPK spokesman for the field of prosecution Ali Fikri in a written statement, Wednesday, February 24.

Although no evidence has been found, investigators will continue to collect evidence and complete the evidence in filing this bribery case.

The name Ihsan Yunus has been repeatedly heard in this social assistance bribery case. In fact, when the reconstruction was carried out, it was revealed that there was a provision of money amounting to Rp1.53 billion and two units of Brompton bicycles from the bribe-giver businessman, namely Harry Sidabuke through his operator Agustri Yogasmara.

Later, Yogas returned the two bicycles Harry gave to the KPK and investigators immediately carried out the reconstruction.

Ihsan Yunus, this PDIP politician, has been summoned by investigators to be questioned. However, he is absent and to date no recall has been addressed to him.

Not only that, some time ago the residence of Ihsan's parents was also searched and his younger brother, Muhammad Rakyan Ikram, was also examined by the KPK because it was suspected that he knew about the distribution of rations and the distribution of social assistance for COVID-19.

Previously reported, the KPK named a number of suspects in connection with the alleged corruption case of social assistance (bansos) food packages for the handling of COVID-19 in the Greater Jakarta area, including former Social Minister Juliari Batubara.

Apart from Juliari, the KPK also named four other suspects, namely the Commitment Making Officer at the Ministry of Social Affairs (PPK) MJS and AW as the recipient of the bribe and AIM and HS as the giver of the bribe.
