TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Monday said that the sting operation (OTT) that allegedly involves Nganjuk Regent Novi Rahma Hidayat was in partnership with the police and criminal investigation unit (Bareskrim).
“The operation is thanks to the partnership between the Police Bareskrim and KPK,” said KPK spokesperson Ali Fikri in a statement today on May 10.
The anti-graft commission is currently further investigating the Regent along with a number of people that were arrested.
This marks the second occurrence where the KPK arrested the regent of Nganjuk with the first occurrence happening in October 2017 where former regent Taufiqqurahman was arrested for a case involving illegal trades of positions within the local government institutions.
The case in 2017 saw Taufiqqurahman trading in influence to control individuals who hold positions in local academic institutions, state agency leaders, and more. The district corruption court sentenced the former regent to 7-years imprisonment.
