KPK Silmy Karim extortion case foreign national stay permits asset seizure

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has seized assets valued at approximately Rp150 billion in connection with an investigation into alleged extortion regarding foreign national stay permits. The case involves the period between 2022 and 2026 within the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which has since transitioned into the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Affairs.

Acting Director of Investigation Achmad Taufik Husein stated that the seized assets include both movable and immovable property, such as vehicles, land, and buildings. Investigators are currently verifying the origins and acquisition processes of these assets. Notably, several items are registered under the names of third parties, prompting the KPK to investigate potential money laundering activities.

Eight individuals have been named as suspects in the case, including former Deputy Minister of Immigration and Correctional Affairs Silmy Karim. The investigation is reportedly in its final stages as the KPK works with prosecutors to finalize the legal construction of the extortion charges.
