It is suspected that the money will be handed over to Abdul Wahid.
“We suspect that it was already an appointment. Then how come the appointment didn’t come at this time, it didn’t come. It’s possible that he started to get suspicious until finally the team came to the location,” said Asep at the KPK’s Red and White Building, Jakarta, Wednesday (5/11).
Meanwhile, Asep said that the cafe the KPK team visited was not far from Abdul Wahid’s house.
He explained that the cafe which was suspected to be Abdul Wahid’s hiding place was in the same building as his house.
“So, the cafe is not a cafe far away, no. The cafe is in that row (his house),” he said.
Abdul Wahid was detained by the KPK on Monday (3/11) and named a suspect in the alleged extortion case after undergoing an intensive post-OTT examination.
The KPK detained 10 people in the OTT.Among them are Abdul Wahid, Head of the PUPR-PKPP Service Muhammad Arief Setiawan, Secretary of the PUPR-PKPP Service Ferry Yunanda, and Tata Maulana who is Abdul Wahid’s confidant.
Another person, Dani M. Nursalam, who is an expert for the Governor of Riau Abdul Wahid, surrendered himself on Tuesday (4/11) evening.
Apart from that, the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) also confiscated a sum of money in rupiah denominations, United States dollars and pounds sterling equivalent to IDR 1.6 billion.
The money was not the first handover.The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that Abdul Wahid was suspected of having received an undisclosed amount of money before being caught by OTT.
“The money (Rp. 1.6 billion) is suspected to be part of some handovers to regional heads. This means that this sting activity is part of several or many previous handovers,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at his office, Jakarta, Tuesday (5/11).
“So, before this arrest activity, there had been other handovers,” he continued.
