The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) began 2024 with a Sting Operation in East Java. This time, the KPK succeeded in securing a number of parties and uncovering a case of alleged corruption in Sidoarjo. After the initial investigation, interestingly, the KPK only named one suspect. After a couple of weeks, the KPK named a new suspect. The decision by then is interesting because the chronology of events reveals allegations that the proceeds of corruption were used for the Regent’s interests, but the Regent is still a free man, until three months later in April 2024. The KPK finally announced that they had named the Regent as suspects. This week, nearly a year after the operation was conducted, Muhdlor finally listened to the prosecutors’ demands against him.
