Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has uncovered a significant sum of money allegedly linked to bribery involving the Rektor of Universitas Jenderal Soedirman (Unsoed), Akhmad Sodiq, and his associates. The discovery was made following a sting operation conducted earlier this week.
During the operation, authorities seized approximately 655 million Indonesian rupiah in cash. Additionally, a bank account belonging to the suspects held a balance of 99 million rupiah. These funds are believed to be connected to alleged acts of extortion and gratification concerning the university's new student admission process.
As a result of the investigation, six individuals have been officially named as suspects by the KPK. The charges stem from allegations of extortion and illicit gratification, specifically tied to the procedures for admitting new students to Unsoed. The KPK continues its investigation into the matter.
