JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will immediately hold an ethics trial for three employees suspected of being involved in illegal levies (extortion) in detention centers. The schedule has been determined in March.

"The trial starts March 12 or 13," said KPK Supervisory Board member Syamsuddin Haris to reporters quoted on Thursday, February 29.

Syamsuddin has not yet specified who will be tried first. However, these three employees are the Head of the KPK Detention Center (Karutan) Achmad Fauzi; former Acting Karutan, and a civil servant employed or PNYD from the National Police.

They are a different cluster of 90 people who have already been tried.

"I don't know who just yet. Just wait," he said.

Previously reported, there were 93 employees suspected of being involved in the prison extortion case. This finding was obtained after the KPK Council conducted an inspection.

Of these, 90 KPK employees have been tried ethically. 78 of them have been severely ethically sanctioned, namely being told to apologize directly and openly. After that they will be processed in a disciplined manner.

This sentence has been carried out some time ago. They apologized in front of the Secretary General of the KPK Cahya H. Harefa and the KPK leadership represented by KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata and other structural officials.

Meanwhile, the remaining 12 employees were handed over their sentences to the KPK secretary general because their actions were carried out before the KPK Council was formed.

Then, the KPK also investigated the crime in this case through the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution. There are more than 10 people who have been named as suspects but have not been announced because the administrative process is still being carried out.

In this case, investigators have searched three KPK detention centers. As a result, evidence was found in the form of financial records which were later confiscated and analyzed.
