orruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators have reportedly arrested seven people, including a senior Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) auditor initialed RS and an official from the Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Ministry.

The arrests were reportedly related to audit activity at the ministry, as investigators also searched the office of the ministry official.

The KPK also seized millions of rupiah from the suspects as evidence.
