The KPK later named dozens of members of the Jambi DPRD as suspects, including one businessman as the briber. In the development of investigation, then Acting Head of the Department of Public Works one Arfan was named suspect in other case for receiving grafts along with Zumi Zola. Recently Arfan was found guilty. Separately, the Jakarta High Court decided to aggravate the punishment for Tubagus Chaeri Wardana (Wawan), the brother of former Banten governor Ratu Atut, who was found guilty of corruption.
