JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to summon its employees to investigate allegations of illegal levies (extortion) in detention centers. Acceptances to the use of money, including detainees who pay tribute, will be investigated by investigators.

"Sayai saat ini tim masih memanggil para saksi dari internal KPK, dari pengamanan, ya, kemarin sudah ada yang dianggil. Tentu pendalamnya terkait dengan penerimaan uang, penggunannya, siapa saja yang kemudian memberikan," kata Kepala Bagian Beritapan KPK Ali Fikri dikutip Sabtu, 9 Maret.

Investigators will also find out the motive for the illegal levies, said Ali. "That's what we are continuing to explore at this time and for witnesses from the security department of the KPK branch detention center who are suspected of knowing fraud," he said.

As previously reported, the anti-corruption commission has named more than 10 suspects for extortion in detention centers. One of them, Hengki, who is currently serving at the Secretariat of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

The employed civil servant (PYND) is referred to as the mastermind or mastermind of the chaotic practice that occurs.

"Henki is already a suspect," said Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Johanis Tanak to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 6.

Hengki was named a suspect along with several other people, said Johanis. However, he did not reveal anyone.

Johanis only ensured that Hengki would be processed according to legal provisions. "As long as he fulfills the elements of the crime that will be suspected," he said.
