JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has begun extracting electronic evidence related to allegations of extortion in the management of foreign labor permits (TKA) at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker). Investigators are looking for other parties suspected of being involved in this case.
"This includes electronic evidence, which as I said earlier, we are starting to unload its contents," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters quoted on Friday, July 25.
Asep said his party was continuing to find anyone who enjoyed the extortion money. Moreover, investigators have just confiscated Harley Davidson of the Sportster type from former special staff of Ida Fauziyah while serving as Minister of Manpower, Risharyudi Triwobowo.
According to him, the confiscation further strengthens the suspicion that extortion money flowed to the staff of the minister in the 2019-2024 period. However, further investigation must be carried out through the evidence and information collected.
"We are currently investigating, what we have just obtained is that the money reaches the staff and buys the motorbike," he said.
"Like that, yes, we are digging up information from the staff and from other parties," continued the Director of Investigation of the KPK.
Previously reported, the KPK officially detained eight suspects suspected of extorting foreign workers' permits (TKA) at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) for the 2019-2024 period.
