        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has also seized jewellery\nalong with cash in rupiah and foreign currency from a search at the\nresidence of former Deputy Minister of Immigration and Corrections Silmy\nKarim, a suspect in an alleged extortion case within the Directorate\nGeneral of Immigration. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo explained on\nFriday that the seized foreign currency included United States (US)\ndollars, euros, and Japanese yen. \u201cThe evidence seized is suspected to\nbe related to or derived from the alleged criminal act of extortion\ncarried out by the suspect concerning the processing of temporary stay\npermits for foreign nationals,\u201d Budi said. During the search, he\ndetailed, investigators also seized two sports cars, ten two-wheeled\nvehicles, including a Vespa and large motorcycles (moge), as well as\nseven bicycles. Based on ANTARA\u2019s monitoring at Silmy\u2019s residence in the\nKebayoran Baru area of South Jakarta, investigators were seen\ntransporting two Harley Davidson moge, one Ducati, and two Porsche cars.\nThese items were removed after investigators conducted a search lasting\nfive hours. The search had been underway since 1:46 p.m. Western\nIndonesia Time. Meanwhile, Silmy\u2019s legal counsel stated they respect the\nongoing process, as long as it is carried out in accordance with the\nprovisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. Previously, Silmy along with\nseven officials within the Immigration department were detained and\nnamed as suspects in a case of alleged extortion related to immigration\nprocessing for foreign nationals. The KPK suspects Silmy received money\nfrom the extortion scheme from his time serving as Director General of\nImmigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights from January 2023 to\nOctober 2024. The case occurred over the period from 2022 to 2026.\nAccording to the anti-corruption commission, this alleged extortion case\noriginated from the handling of the Foreign Manpower Utilisation Plan\n(RPTKA) case at the Ministry of Manpower, which has been handled by the\nKPK since 2025. \u201cSo this covert investigation activity began from the\nfollow-up related to the foreign manpower utilisation plan case at the\nMinistry of Manpower that has been handled by the KPK since 2025,\u201d said\nKPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto at the KPK\u2019s Red and White Building in\nJakarta on Thursday (4\/6).<\/p>",
