Diberitakan sebelumnya, KPK menggelar operasi tangkap tangan (OTT) di Provinsi Bengkulu pada Sabtu, 23 November dan membawa delapan orang untuk dimintai keterangan. Tiga orang kemudian ditetapkan sebagai tersangka, yakni Gubernur Bengkulu Rohidin Mersyah, Sekretaris Daerah (Sekda) Provinsi Bengkulu Isnan Fajri dan Evrianshah alias Anca yang merupakan Adc Gubernur Bengkulu.

Saat OTT dilakukan, penyidik menemukan uang senilai Rp7 miliar dalam pecahan mata uang rupiah, dolar Amerika Serikat, dan dolar Singapura. Pemerasan dan penerimaan gratifikasi itu disebut untuk membiayai Rohidin yang kembali maju sebagai calon petahana.
