Two years ago, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced the investigation into the allegations of corruption in the arrangement of excisable goods managed by the Concession Agency (BP) in the Bintan Free Trade and Free Port Zone (FTZ) (BP Bintan). It took the KPK four more months to arrest and announce the suspects, one of whom is the Regent of Bintan Apri Sujadi (Demokrat). The suspects were found guilty in May 2022, but the KPK did not stop the investigation. As a result, towards the end of last week the KPK announced a new case related to a similar scheme committed in BP Tanjungpinang and named the former Chief of the agency, Den Yealta, as suspect.
