JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) in East Java on Friday evening, April 10. 16 people were secured in the activity, including Tulungagung Regent Gatut Sunu Wibowo.

"The KPK conducted a closed investigation in East Java. The team secured a total of 16 people, one of whom was the Regent of Tulungagung," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through a written statement quoted on Saturday, April 11.

Budi said the KPK team was still in the post-operation area. But, he did not specify who was secured in the activity, other than Gatut Sunu.

"Currently the team is still on the field. We will continue to update the development," he said.

Information about Gatut Sunu being caught by OTT has been confirmed by Deputy Chairman of the KPK Fitroh Rohcahyanto. This was conveyed while confirming that there was an enforcement activity in Tulungagung.

"Yes. Yes (he was arrested, ed)," said Deputy Chairman of the KPK Fitroh Rohcahyanto to reporters when confirmed, quoted Saturday, April 11.

Fitroh has not detailed who was arrested in the silent operation. The same goes for the process in the field.

Currently, the KPK has 1x24 hours to determine the suspects after the OTT is held. The process will begin with a request for information from the secured party, the title of the case or exposure at the level of the deputy director of enforcement and the leadership will then be officially announced through a press conference.

For information, the last anti-corruption commission held a silent operation on March 3. The Regent of Pekalongan Fadia Arafiq was then named a suspect and was removed from his post.

He was named a suspect because he allegedly arranged PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya (PT RNB) to monopoli the outsourcing service project in 17 regional units, 3 RSUD, and 1 sub-district in Pekalongan Regency.

Fadia is suspected of violating Article 12 letter i and Article 12 B of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code regarding conflicts of interest and abuse of authority in the procurement of goods and services.
