DOC VOI

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held a hand arrest operation (OTT) within the Provincial Government (Pemprov) of South Kalimantan on Sunday, October 6. It is suspected that there was a transfer of money addressed to Sahbirin Noor as Governor of South Kalimantan through his trusted people.

"It is reasonable to suspect (had something to do with the Governor of South Kalimantan Sahbirin Noor, ed). The new money has only reached the hands of the alleged governor's trust," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata when confirmed, Monday, October 7.

Alexander has not detailed further about the alleged receipt of the money. He just said that this kind of mode is often found by the anti-corruption commission.

"In many cases bribery or gratification is given through the trusted people of state officials," he said.

As previously reported, the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, confirmed that there was a hand arrest operation (OTT) in South Kalimantan. He said the investigation was still being carried out so that more complete information would be submitted later.

"The clarity is that we are still checking, after it is finished we will update it," said Ghufron when confirmed, Sunday night.
