JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensured that Ambon Mayor Richard Louhenapessy had been properly and legally summoned before forcibly picking him up.

Richard was forcibly picked up by the anti-corruption commission team after being uncooperative when summoned in the alleged bribery case for licensing the construction of the Alfamidi retail branch in Ambon City in 2020.

"The summons to the person concerned had been carried out properly and legally," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, May 13.

Currently, Richard is being taken to the KPK headquarters. He will be investigated further regarding the alleged bribery.

Ali asked the public to be patient because the announcement of the suspect and the construction of the case in this case will be announced.

"Currently the person concerned is being brought to the KPK building for further examination by the investigator team," he said.

"We will convey the progress," added Ali.

Previously, the KPK was investigating allegations of bribery in granting permits to build retail branches in Ambon in 2020.

However, the parties who have been named as suspects have not been announced as well as the construction of the case. This announcement will be made at the same time as an attempt to force an arrest or detention.

In addition, the KPK has asked the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) to prevent the suspects from going abroad.
