JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has extended the detention period of former Head of the Riau National Land Agency (BPN) Regional Office Muhammad Syahrir.

The detention extension was carried out in accordance with the stipulation of the Chairman of the Corruption Court at the Pekanbaru District Court (PN) for 30 days. After being extended, Syahrir will be detained until March 30.

Ali said, the extension of the detention was carried out to find evidence. They want the article that ensnared Syahrir to be fulfilled.

"The collection of evidence is still being carried out, including by examining various parties as witnesses in order to strengthen the elements of the articles of alleged acts of corruption, gratification and money laundering offenses from the suspect MS," he explained.
