KPK Sting Operation at West Jakarta Immigration: Anti-Corruption Agency Seizes US Dollars and Gold

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revealed that dozens of people were detained during a series of sting operations (OTT) on Tuesday (2/6/2026). Through these operations, the KPK also secured several pieces of evidence.

KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the operations initially took place in West Jakarta before moving to Bali and West Java. “In its progress, dozens of people have been detained in this series of sting operations, and the evidence secured includes vehicles, cars, motorcycles, as well as cash in the form of foreign currency, specifically USD and SGD, and also precious metals such as gold,” said Budi on Wednesday (3/6/2026).

Budi confirmed that KPK teams are still active in the field and will continue to provide updates on developments. This sting operation is related to the administrative process for foreign nationals (WNA) seeking to reside in Indonesia. “As we know, for a foreign national to reside in Indonesia, there are KITAP, which is a permanent identity card, and also temporary permits known as KITAS. The investigation concerns the process of managing these permits,” Budi explained.
