T
he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested a number of state officials in West Java in relation to a bribery case on Tuesday afternoon.
“Our investigators arrested around seven people [during an operation] in a regency in West Java, including a regent and several officials,” KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said in a statement on Tuesday.
Febri, however, refused to reveal further details on the arrests.
The antigraft body has carried eight operations across the country this year to arrest state officials allegedly involved in graft cases.
The latest operation was carried out on March 12, when KPK investigators arrested several officials of the Tangerang District Court, including Judge Wahyu Widya Nurfitri and clerk Tuti Atikah. (swd)
