The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has disclosed several pieces of evidence secured during a sting operation (OTT) related to the case involving the Head of the West Jakarta Class I Non-TPI Immigration Office, Ronald Arman Abdullah.
KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the seized evidence includes not only cash but also vehicles and precious metals. “The evidence secured includes vehicles such as cars and motorcycles, as well as cash in the form of foreign currencies, specifically USD (US Dollars) and SGD (Singapore Dollars), and also gold bullion,” Budi Prasetyo said at the KPK Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Wednesday, 3 June 2026.
Although the types of evidence found have been disclosed, the KPK has not yet detailed the total amount or the overall value of the assets secured in the operation.
