Five BPK Civil Servants Caught in Sting Operation Undergo Intensive Questioning at KPK

Five Civil Servants (ASN) from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) caught in a Sting Operation (OTT) are undergoing intensive questioning at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) office in South Jakarta on Wednesday (10/6).

KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated at the Merah Putih Building in Jakarta, “Currently, the detained parties are still undergoing intensive examination, and this afternoon a case expose was held. It was decided that this closed investigation be escalated to the inquiry stage based on sufficient and valid preliminary evidence.”

The KPK arrested the five BPK civil servants in a sting operation in Jakarta on 9 and 10 June 2026. The covert operation pertains to an alleged criminal act of bribery related to BPK audit findings on several procurements in the Muara Enim Regency Government, South Sumatra Province.

“The alleged bribe is connected to a BPK finding on procurements, one of which is the Smart TVs we have previously explained in the construction of the Muara Enim case,” Budi stated.

“We will continue to investigate this further from the parties we have secured in this sting operation,” he added.

Previously, the KPK conducted a sting operation in Jakarta and South Sumatra from 6 to 8 June 2026, concerning alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services (PBJ) and gratuity receipts for the 2025-2026 fiscal year within the Muara Enim Regency Government.

Of the ten individuals arrested, four were named as suspects. They are Muara Enim Regent Edison; Abi Nurwardani, the 2026 Secretary of the Education and Culture Department; Adi Triyadi, a confidant of the regent; and Cory Erin Hardi, a private party from PT Millenium Solusi Abadi (PT MSA). They have been detained for an initial 20-day period from 9 June to 28 June 2026.
