KPK Seizes Cars, Foreign Currency, and Gold in Sting Operation Involving West Jakarta Immigration Head

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has secured various pieces of evidence, including motor vehicles, foreign currency, and gold bullion, during a sting operation (OTT) in West Jakarta on 2-3 June 2026.

“There are vehicles, cars, motorcycles, and also evidence in the form of cash, foreign currency, including USD and SGD, as well as gold bullion,” stated KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Wednesday (3/6).

So far, the KPK has arrested a total of over a dozen people in this covert operation, one of whom is the Head of the West Jakarta Immigration Office. Budi confirmed the arrest of the Immigration Head.

Budi explained that the sting operation is related to the processing of permits for Foreign Nationals (WNA) to reside in Indonesia. “As we know, for a foreign national to reside in Indonesia, there is the KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit) and also the temporary KITAS (Limited Stay Permit),” he added.

Budi was unable to provide further details as the enforcement team is still active in the field. “Since last night, the team has been conducting activities in the West Jakarta area, and as the situation develops, the team is also currently moving in the Bali and West Java regions,” he said.

Some of the individuals caught in the operation have already arrived at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in South Jakarta. According to gathered information, in addition to the involved parties, the KPK will also transport the seized evidence, such as motor vehicles, to the Dwiwarna Building.

Under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the anti-corruption agency has 24 hours to determine the legal status of the individuals caught in the sting operation.
