JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) for the period 2024-2025 Immanuel "Noel" Ebenezer Gerungan admitted that he regretted having received gratification worth Rp. 3.36 billion and a Ducati motorcycle related to the alleged extortion case for the management of the Occupational Safety and Health Certificate (K3).
He said at that time he only helped and received remuneration from the Coordinator for Institutional and Personnel Affairs of the Ministry of Manpower for the period 2022-2025, Irvian Bobby Mahendro.
