        "summary": "Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) raided three locations in Tulungagung, East Java, on Thursday, seizing undated resignation letters purportedly signed by several heads of regional government agencies (OPD) under the Tulungagung Regency administration. These documents are suspected to have been used by the inactive Regent Gatut Sunu Wibowo as leverage to extort compliance and funds from OPD leaders, amassing up to Rp2.7 billion towards a Rp5 billion target. This follows KPK's recent sting operation that arrested Gatut, his brother, and 16 others on charges of extortion and other illicit receipts in the 2025-2026 fiscal year, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat corruption in local governance.",
