BEKASI - Two state civil servants with the initials APS and HF were caught in a hand arrest operation (OTT) organized by the Bekasi District Attorney's Office (Kejari), West Java.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were also secured as evidence in the alleged extortion of these two ASNs.

The Head of the Bekasi District Attorney's Office, Ricky Setiawan Anas, said that the two were detained at the Bekasi District Financial Management Agency (BPKD). The two ASNs allegedly came from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) representative of West Java Province.

APS is known to be the Team Leader while HF is a member of the West Java BPK audit team.

"We have detained two people, state civil servants suspected of abusing their authority," said Ricky Setiawan Anas in Cikarang, Antara, Wednesday, March 30.

APS and HF received a letter of assignment from the West Java Provincial BPK to carry out a detailed examination of the 2021 local government financial statements at the Bekasi Regency Government. Both of them served for 30 days at the Bekasi Regency BPKD.

From the arrests of the two, investigators managed to secure evidence of a sum of money suspected of extorting the two alleged perpetrators against the victim.

"We are calculating the money, it's quite a lot, there are hundreds of millions. We will secure these two people for one 24 hours, later after we have sufficient evidence, we will increase their status," he said.

His party is still conducting an in-depth investigation by gathering evidence. Ricky confirmed that in the near future there will be further legal decisions regarding today's arrest.

"As soon as possible, at least tomorrow morning we will re-release it by calling friends. What is certain is that the case is an alleged extortion based on reports. If someone is being blackmailed, it means that someone is not happy. he said.
