The search was carried out by the KPK team from Monday (27/3) evening to Tuesday (28/3) in the morning around 04.00 WIB. The Director General of Mineral and Coal is meant to accompany KPK investigators in the process of finding evidence.
The apartment for the Director General of Mineral and Coal is located in Pakubuwono Residence, South Jakarta.
“Around 04.00 in the morning, we just finished the search and found dust like cash,” said the source.
There has been no official statement from the KPK regarding the results of a search of the alleged corruption in the payment of employee tukin at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
On Monday (27/3), the KPK team also searched the Office of the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Tebet, South Jakarta and the office of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Central Jakarta.
The KPK searched a number of places in the offices of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, one of which was the office of the Secretary of the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal. The search process took about 3.5 hours.
A number of documents, including employee decrees and warrants for the payment of tukin, were secured by the KPK team from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
The anti-corruption agency confirmed that it was investigating a case of alleged corruption in the payment of employee tukin at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. This case started with a public complaint which was followed up with a process of inquiry and investigation.
There are at least 10 people who have been named by the Corruption Eradication Committee as suspects for alleged unlawful acts that have caused losses to the state’s finances of up to tens of billions of rupiah.
“This case has gone up to the investigation stage because the KPK has at least two pieces of evidence and there are several parties who can be legally accounted for,” said Head of KPK Reporting Section, Ali Fikri.
