Following the July operation-tangkap-tangan raids, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has intensified investigations into immigration, customs, and regional budget scandals. In the immigration sector, the KPK is probing alleged extortion regarding foreign national stay permits. On August 28, 2026, investigators questioned Denpasar Immigration Office Head R. Haryo Sakti, alongside officials Alberto Vicense Cianry Lake and Kadek Okta Dwi Putra. Following these examinations, the KPK seized more than Rp6 billion in cash suspected to be proceeds from corrupt practices. The probe remains linked to former Deputy Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services Silmy Karim, whose detention has been extended until October 1, 2026. Investigations have expanded to include the examination of a staff member from the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching, Malaysia, identified by the initials THR, regarding their former role in units responsible for issuing stay permits. KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo indicated that despite a June 2026 sting operation, officials suspect some immigration offices may still be engaging in extortion. However, he noted that some offices have reportedly ceased these practices and returned previously collected funds to the KPK, as observed in Bali. Financial irregularities identified include transactions totaling approximately Rp366.7 billion across 96 accounts linked to 35 ministry employees between 2019 and 2025; investigators noted that roughly 97 percent of these funds are suspected to have originated from service applicants. As of September 2026, the investigation has led to the naming of eight suspects. Silmy Karim has filed a pre-trial motion contesting the legality of asset seizures conducted during the probe. The KPK stated it is prepared to face the motion, maintaining that all investigative stages and seizures have been carried out in accordance with applicable legal procedures. Customs investigations continue following the seizure of Rp2.8 billion in USD and SGD hidden in a residence.
