TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The sting operation (OTT) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in which United Development Party (PPP) Romahurmuziy alias Romy was apprehended took place at the Religious Affairs Ministry's East Java office on Jl. Raya Juanda, Sidoarjo regency, at around 09:00 a.m. on Friday, March 15, 2019.

“The OTT is an A1 info [confirmed], but please ask the KPK as to whom were arrested,” he said.

The KPK will announce Romy’s status tomorrow—pending completion of the investigation. The anti-graft body has 24 hours after the arrest to determine the status of those nabbed in the OTT.

Usually, the KPK will immediately detain those who are named suspects. “Wait for the press conference at the KPK [headquarters] tonight or tomorrow morning,” KPK czar Agus Rahardjo said.
