TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A team from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated a black suitcase and a backpack during a search at the West Papua BPK Representative office on Jl Sowi Gunung Manokwari on Thursday, November 16.

The suitcase and backpack allegedly contained documents confiscated from the office of Patrice Lumumba Sihombing (PSL) and two of his employees, who have been named suspects in the alleged bribery case by Yan Piet Mosso, the acting Regent of Sorong.

The search took place for about six hours, from 14:30 to 20:30 East Indonesia Time.

When asked by reporters, none of the 10 members of the KPK Team were willing to provide comments.

The KPK team left the West Papua BKP Representative office in two black Toyota Rush cars.
