“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.
