Indonesian authorities have continued a coordinated anti‑corruption crackdown across several regions. On 27 July 2026, police from the Special Criminal Investigation Unit, working with the Development and Finance Oversight Agency, raided the Tourism, Youth and Sports Office in Kepahiang, Bengkulu, seizing documents tied to an alleged misuse of Rp 6.2 billion in budget funds for seven 2023 projects. The same day, the anti‑corruption division in Southwest Papua (Papua Barat Daya) expanded a probe into the provincial legislature’s secretariat, examining dozens of witnesses and accusing legislators of receiving roughly Rp 80 million each from fictitious contracts, with a total loss estimated at Rp 6.5 billion. On 28 July, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) opened a related investigation into waste‑management contracts in Bengkulu city, searching multiple sites—including a private medical‑equipment firm and the home of the city’s Head of Public Works—and seizing about Rp 4 billion in cash. The inquiry builds on a prior case in Rejang Lebong Regency that led to 13 arrests. The crackdown extended into August. On 7 August 2026, KPK agents conducted a four‑hour raid on the house of Syofyan Tosoni, secretary of the Bengkulu City Regional Representative Council, seizing three suitcases of documents. In the same operation, KPK searched a residence in Tegal, Central Java belonging to Eko Daryanto, linking the action to a separate corruption case in neighboring Pemalang Regency. Between 12 and 13 August 2026, the KPK conducted night searches at the residence of Bengkulu City DPRD member Vinna Ledy Anggraheni in the Gading Cempaka neighborhood, seizing documents and electronic devices. This operation is an expansion of a previous investigation into alleged bribery involving wastewater treatment plant (IPAL) installations and other projects in the Rejang Lebong Regency. ~~On 6 September 2026, the KPK expanded its investigation into bribery involving public procurement projects in Rejang Lebong.~~
