KPK seizes Rp4 billion; VIP stand collapses at Purwokerto event

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized Rp4 billion in cash after searching the home of Noprisman, the Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency in Bengkulu City, earlier this week. The seizure is part of a developing corruption case. Separately, Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra urged the West Java Regional Police to increase patrols following a polemic over a bounty offered by Governor Dedi Mulyadi for the capture of street robbers. In Purwokerto, Central Java, dozens of spectators were injured and evacuated to several hospitals after a VIP stand collapsed during the National Drift Speed Fest Championship at the Satria Sports Complex on Sunday afternoon. In Aceh, a member of the Army’s Military Police Corps died while assisting police in intercepting a drug trafficker. Aceh Police Chief Inspector General Ruddi Setiawan expressed his condolences over the incident. Meanwhile, the KPK explained how a bribery investigation involving the Rejang Lebong Regency Government expanded to include alleged corruption within the Bengkulu City Government.
