JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there are parties who have hidden three cars of former Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer after the arrest operation (OTT) on Wednesday, August 20.

The vehicle was previously in its official residence and investigators have pocketed information about the transfer.

"That investigators received information that there were a number of cars, namely Land Cruiser, Mercedes Benz, and BAIC which were moved from the Wamen official residence after the arrest activity," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, August 26.

Budi said investigators are now investigating where the car was moved.

"To those who move, the KPK urges them to cooperate and immediately hand over the vehicle for inspection and investigation by investigators," he said.

The KPK has confiscated a black-streamed Toyota Alphard from the house of former Deputy Minister of Manpower Immanuel Ebenezer.

The car was obtained by investigators after conducting a search related to the alleged extortion of handling work safety and health certificates (K3).

Previously reported, the KPK named 11 suspects in connection with the alleged extortion of handling work safety and health certificates (K3). This determination began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) that arrested 14 people, including the Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer.

The following is a list of suspects named by the KPK:

1. Irvian Bobby Mahendro as Coordinator for Institutional and Personnel Affairs K3 for 2022-2025;

2. Gerry Aditya Herwanto Putra as Coordinator for Testing and Evaluation of Work Safety Competence in 2022 until now;

3. Subhan as Sub-Coordinator for Work Safety Dit. Bina K3 for 2020-2025;

9. Supriadi as the coordinator;

10. Temurila as the party of PT KEM Indonesia; and

11. Miki Mahfud as the party of PT KEM Indonesia.

The determination of the suspect began with an intensive examination and found two pieces of evidence after the silent operation was carried out. It is suspected that this extortion has been going on for a long time.

This allegation arose because of the large amount of evidence found, namely 15 cars and 7 motorbikes and Rp170 million and US$2,201 in cash.

Meanwhile, Immanuel Ebenezer has been removed from his position as Wamenaker by President Prabowo Subianto. This decision was taken after his legal status was announced by the KPK and submitted to the public by the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi.
