JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators received dozens of bicycle units from various brands. Furthermore, these bicycles were confiscated and used as evidence in the bribery case for the export license of the fries or lobster seeds that ensnared the former Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo.

Dozens of bicycles were handed over by a party representing former Edhy Prabowo special staff, Safri who was also named a suspect in this case.

"The investigating team received 13 units of various brands of bicycles from parties representing the SAF suspect," said KPK Acting Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri in a written statement, Friday, March 19.

The purchase, he continued, was allegedly for Edhy Prabowo. "Next, an analysis will be carried out to immediately carry out the confiscation as evidence in the case file," Ali explained.

In this bribery case, Edhy Prabowo was named a suspect in receiving bribes along with five other people, namely: Stafsus Minister of KKP Safri (SAF) and Andreau Pribadi Misanta (APM); Management of PT Aero Citra Kargo (PT ACK) Siswadi (SWD); The staff of the wife of the Minister of KKP, Ainul Faqih, and Amiril Mukminin (AM).

Meanwhile, the giver of the bribe was the Director of PT Dua Putra Perkasa Pratama (PT DPPP) Suharjito (SJT).

Edhy was named a suspect because he was suspected of accepting bribes from companies that had been issued a lobster seed export license using a forwarder company and were kept in one account up to Rp9.8 billion.

From this money, Edhy then received Rp3.4 billion which was earmarked for his and his wife's needs, Iis Rosyita Dewi, and two of his staff, Safri and Andreau Misanta Pribadi.

In addition, around May 2020, Edhy was also suspected of receiving 100 thousand US dollars from Suharjito through Safri and Amiril.

Furthermore, this money is used for shopping for luxury goods by Edhy and his wife in Honolulu, USA on November 21 to 23, 2020, amounting to around IDR 750 million, including Rolex watches, Tumi and LV bags, road bikes, and Old Navy clothes.
