JAKARTA. Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators found US$ 200.000 in cash during the arrest of Andi Agustinus, alias Andi Narogong, a suspect in the graft case surrounding the e-ID procurement project for the 2011-2012 budget year at the Home Affairs Ministry, the commission’s spokesperson has said.
“We began the operation to arrest the suspect at around 11 a.m. local time on Thursday. Investigators arrested him at a restaurant or cafe in Tebet, South Jakarta,” KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah said as quoted by Antara on Friday.
During the operation he said that KPK investigators had found electronic devices and US$ 200,000 in cash, which they later followed up with confiscations of several other pieces of evidence.
“We took Andi Agustinus and two other people (who were with him when the arrest took place) to three locations for a search. We searched three houses in Cibubur, one of which is the suspect’s private residence and two others are the residences of his sibling,” said Febri.
A number of documents were also confiscated as evidence during the search on Thursday evening, he added.
“The team brought the suspect, his younger brother and the latter’s friend to the KPK’s office at around 10:28 p.m. local time on Thursday and questioned them intensively until Friday morning,” said Febri.
After the intensive questioning, he said, the KPK decided to detain Andi for the next 20 days starting from Friday. “He is being detained at the KPK’s detention facility,” said Febri.
