From those searches, Kejagung seized various\npieces of evidence, including documents, vehicles, cash in US dollars\nworth around Rp 1 billion, and heavy equipment.<\/p>\n
Of the total 14 locations searched, 10 were in the DKI Jakarta and\nWest Java regions. These locations included offices of companies\naffiliated with the suspect, private residences, and homes of several\nwitnesses.<\/p>\n
