KPK Searches Foreigner Document Service Bureau in Bali
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has raided an agency responsible for processing immigration documents for foreign nationals in Bali, in connection with an investigation into alleged corruption in the management of foreign stay permits.
KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo, speaking at the KPK Red and White Building in Jakarta on Tuesday, stated that the search was carried out at the office of a service agency that frequently provides immigration document processing services in Bali.
“Regarding the Immigration case, investigators continued search activities in the Bali region today. One service agency office that frequently provides immigration document processing services for the Bali region was searched,” he said.
From the raid, investigators seized several documents and electronic evidence. According to Budi, all secured evidence will be extracted and analysed to strengthen the evidence already held by investigators.
He added that the KPK will summon several witnesses to confirm various findings obtained from the search.
Previously, on 2-3 June 2026, the KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) related to alleged corruption in the processing of foreign national stay permits. This operation marked the 11th sting operation conducted by the KPK throughout 2026.
In that operation, the KPK arrested 17 individuals, consisting of eight state officials or civil servants (ASN) and nine private parties suspected of acting as intermediaries in the processing of immigration documents.
On 4 June 2026, the KPK named eight individuals as suspects in an alleged extortion case involving the processing of foreign national stay permits during the 2022-2026 period within the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which subsequently transitioned to the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services.
The eight suspects include several officials and former officials of the Directorate General of Immigration, namely Silmy Karim, Saffar Muhammad Godam, Jaya Saputra, Ronald Arman Abdullah, Tessar Bayu Setyaji, Bagus Bramantyo, Juniadi Sri Priambudi, and Gusti Benardiansyah.
