The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has apprehended Ronald Arman Abdullah, the Head of the West Jakarta Immigration Office, during a sting operation conducted on Tuesday night, June 2, 2026.
The operation, known as an Operasi Tangkap Tangan (OTT), resulted in the detention of several individuals and the seizure of a significant amount of evidence. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo confirmed the details of the operation during a press briefing at the KPK Red and White Building on Wednesday.

During the silent operation, investigators recovered a variety of assets. According to Budi Prasetyo, the evidence includes:
- Vehicles: Both cars and motorcycles.
- Currency: Cash, including foreign exchange in the form of US Dollars (USD) and Singapore Dollars (SGD).
- Precious Metals: Gold bullion.
“And also the evidence secured includes vehicles, cars, motorcycles, and also evidence in the form of cash, foreign exchange including USD and SGD, and also in the form of gold precious metals,” Budi Prasetyo stated.
Expanding Investigation and Potential Implications
The scope of the KPK’s investigation appears to be widening. Budi Prasetyo noted that investigative teams are still active in the field and are currently moving toward the regions of Bali and West Java.
The involvement of a high-ranking official like the Head of the West Jakarta Immigration Office, combined with the diversity of the seized assets, suggests that the investigation could lead to further discoveries regarding the scale of the alleged misconduct.
