The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that four cellphones found in the ceiling of the house of the former Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer will be opened by investigators. Claims about the ownership of the goods can later be proven.

This was conveyed by the KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when asked about Immanuel Ebenezer's confession that four cellphones were on the ceiling of his assistant's house.

These findings were obtained when investigators searched to find evidence related to extortion in the management of work safety and health certificates (K3).

"Of course, the secured BBE will be opened to look for clues needed by investigators in uncovering this case," Budi told reporters, Thursday, September 4.

If later it has nothing to do with the case, continued Budi, later the confiscated goods will definitely be returned. But, of course there is a mechanism.

"If it does or has nothing to do with the case, the investigator will return it," he said.

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;

4. Anitasari Kusumawati as Coordinator of Partnership and Work Health Personnel in 2020 until now;

5. Immanuel Ebenezer Gerungan as Deputy Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia in 2024-2029;

6. Fahrurozi as Director General of Binwasnaker and K3 in March 2025 until now;

7. Hery Sutanto as Director of Institutional Development in 2021-February 2025;

8. Sekarsari Kartika Putri as sub-coordinator;

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.

Furthermore, 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.
