The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed the arrest of Golkar Party DPP Chairman Fahd Arafiq and former Kebumen Regent Arif Sugiyanto during a sting operation (OTT) within the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN).

KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo responded to journalists’ inquiries regarding whether Fahd Arafiq was among those apprehended. “One of the parties secured,” Budi confirmed at the KPK Red and White Building, Jakarta, on Monday.

When journalists further questioned whether Arif Sugiyanto was also arrested by the KPK, Budi confirmed, “One of them is among those secured.”
