The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has uncovered four safes at the house of one of the alleged corruption suspects in the issuance of a mining business permit (IUP) in East Kalimantan.

This forced effort was made when investigators visited the house of one of the suspects on Wednesday, October 23.

Tessa did not specify the suspect in this case. He only said there were three suspects in this case.

In addition, investigators also searched two houses in the East Kalimantan area on Tuesday, October 22. Each is in Kutai Kertanegara Regency and Samarinda City.

"That from the results of the search, the KPK has confiscated documents related to permits or IUPs and mining activities, records of financial transactions, and documents of electronic evidence," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.
