JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra Party DPD Muhaimin Syarif today. He is a suspect in the development of the corruption case of the inactive North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba.

Muhaimin arrived at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at around 20.35 WIB. Abdul Gani Kasuba's confidant was accompanied by a number of officers and did not provide any information because he immediately went up to the investigation room.

Meanwhile, KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika did not want to talk further about the arrest. He said information would be conveyed after the examination process was carried out.

"I can't give a response yet because it's still in process," Tessa said when confirmed by reporters.

"We'll wait tomorrow for a complete statement regarding the activity in question," he continued.

As previously reported, Muhaimin Syarif was summoned as a suspect on Friday, June 21. However, he did not fulfill the investigator's summons on the grounds that he was filing a pretrial lawsuit.

At that time, the KPK claimed to respect the process. However, this reason is considered unnatural so that a recall will be made.

As for this case, the anti-corruption commission has asked the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to prevent the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra DPD Muhaimin Syarif from leaving the country. This prevention is carried out for six months and can be extended according to the needs of investigators.
