Indonesia's KPK raids Denpasar immigration office in corruption probe

KPK Denpasar immigration raid Silmy Karim corruption investigation asset auction

Indonesia's anti‑corruption commission (KPK) conducted a raid on the Immigration Office in Denpasar, Bali, seizing four boxes of documents and electronic evidence linked to an alleged extortion and gratuity scheme involving former Deputy Minister of Immigration Silmy Karim. Eight suspects, including senior immigration officials, have been detained for alleged violations of anti‑corruption statutes.

The investigation also led KPK to search two visa‑related firms in Bali. In a separate development, KPK auctioned seized assets from corruption cases, including an iPhone XS that sold for Rp34 million, far above its limit price, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max sold at nearly three times its starting bid.

Member of Indonesia's House of Representatives Nyoman Parta called for a comprehensive probe of immigration practices in Bali, urging KPK to extend investigations beyond the raid to examine officials and related parties involved in visa issuance and alleged illicit activities.
