JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned two of its employees in the security department as witnesses today, Tuesday, March 5. They are being investigated for alleged illegal levies (extortion) at the detention center which is currently being investigated.

"Today at the KPK's Red and White Building, the investigative team has scheduled the summons and examination of witnesses," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, March 5.

As previously reported, 90 employees were declared to have violated ethics for being involved in illegal levies. Of that number, 78 employees were sanctioned in the form of publicly apologizing before the leadership to the Secretary General of the KPK on Monday, February 26.

"I hereby convey an apology to the Corruption Eradication Commission and/or KPK personnel for violating the code of ethics and code of conduct that I have carried out," said one employee representative who was decided to violate ethics at the KPK Support Building, Monday, February 26.

"In the form of abuse of office and/or authority, including abusing the influence as a member of the commission, both in carrying out duties and personal interests and/or groups," he continued.

While the other 12 were handed over to the KPK Inspectorate because they participated in extortion practices before the Supervisory Board was formed.
