JAKARTA - The KPK conducted an arrest operation (OTT) for the Governor of South Sulawesi, Nurdin Abdullah. A certain amount of money was also confiscated from the OTT of the Governor of South Sulawesi in Makassar.
There is information that the money confiscated in the KPK OTT has reached IDR 1 billion. However, the KPK chairman Firli Bahuri has not yet stated the nominal amount of the money that was seized.
"I have not conveyed the amount of money, but there must be cash", Firli told reporters, Saturday, February 27.
Nurdin Abdullah and a number of people have been brought to Jakarta. Nurdin will be examined before the KPK determines the legal status of this OTT.
"Law enforcement must also uphold human rights. The principle of the presumption of innocence must also be respected. The KPK will announce the suspect after the examination of witnesses and suspects is complete. We'll present it at the press conference", said Firli.

As previously reported, the spokesperson for the South Sulawesi provincial government, Veronica Moniaga, confirmed that Governor Nurdin Abdullah was brought by the KPK team. Nurdin Abdullah was taken while resting at his house of office in Makassar.
"Because the governor was resting at that time. As we all know that the hand-arrest operation is an operation to arrest someone while committing a crime and the government was not currently doing it”, said Veronica to reporters in Makassar, Saturday, February 27.
Veronica confirmed the information from KPK Deputy Chairman Nurul Ghufron. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission emphasized that his team in Makassar carried out a hand arrest operation, although the South Sulawesi provincial government spokesperson brushed it off.
"Nurdin Abdullah was not in the middle of a criminal act when he was picked up by the KPK team. He greeted the KPK team at the governor's house of office”, said Veronica.
"The rest, regarding the information circulating whether it is involved, case A, case B or whatever, we have not received official information about that, so what is the case that later became the basis for you to ask him for information?", continued Veronica.
