KPK seizes Rp6 billion in Bali immigration extortion probe

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has seized more than Rp6 billion in cash following the examination of several immigration officials in Bali. The investigation is centered on allegations of extortion related to the processing of stay permits for foreign nationals.

On Friday, August 28, 2026, investigators questioned R. Haryo Sakti, the Head of the Denpasar Immigration Office, along with other officials including Alberto Vicense Cianry Lake and Kadek Okta Dwi Putra. KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo confirmed the seizure of the funds, which are suspected to be the proceeds of corrupt practices within the Bali immigration services.

The probe is linked to an ongoing investigation involving former Deputy Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services, Silmy Karim. Previous search operations by the KPK have targeted various locations, including immigration offices in Jakarta and Bali, as well as service agencies, to collect electronic evidence and documents related to the case.
