Vice Chairman of KPK Nurul Ghufron (DOK ANTARA)

JAKARTA - A former member of the KPK Task Force with the initials IGAS was caught stealing 1.9 kg of gold from evidence of corruption. The offender stole the key to open the second-tier security door taken from the key-holder's bag.

The offender was known to enter the evidence storage area despite passing through three layers of security doors.

"Well the key in the second person's hand he (IGAS) stole in his bag, it was also unknown. That's what happened," KPK Vice Chairman Nurul Ghufron told reporters On Friday, April 9.

According to Ghufron, the perpetrator who was then a KPK Task Force had obeyed the existence of the bag used to store the keys. Because IGAS and key-holding officers know each other.

"Because it felt familiar so his bag was also placed in a place that he (the suspect) knew it. Now that's what fatally happened," he continued.

But Gufron didn't explain how IGAS passed through the door in the third tier. It is suspected that the perpetrator could pass through the third door because IGAS is a member of the KPK Task Force which does have a domain of work on the management of evidence resulting from corruption spoils.

To prevent similar incidents, the KPK enacted changes to the security scheme. Internal KPK changes the locking system with a code. This code called Ghufron will be replaced periodically.

"Therefore we will then make improvements will rotate, meaning what rotation? rotation both personally and regularly that key to use the codes that we will always regularly randomize back," lata he.

A KPK task force of 1.9 kilogram gold bullion thieves has been fired. Theft is carried out gradually from January to June 2020.

The Kpk Supervisory Board (Dewas) also brought the case into the criminal realm. The theft was reported to the South Jakarta Metro Police.
