Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has moved to seize various assets believed to be linked to corrupt practices by Fadia Arafiq, the non-active Regent of Pekalongan. The commission confirmed the seizure of three franchise retail stores and a salon, with investigators placing official seizure markers on these properties between June 15-16.
On June 15-16, investigators also placed seizure markers or signs on several previously seized locations, including three franchise retail stores and a salon.
Further investigations have led to the confiscation of a house belonging to Arafiq located in Semarang. The KPK is also scrutinizing land purchases made by the regent during her tenure, totaling approximately 10,000 square meters across several locations in Pekalongan. To deepen the inquiry into these additional assets, investigators questioned 14 witnesses on June 17 at the Pekalongan City Polres.
We urge the relevant parties not to attempt to cover up or damage the seizure markers that we have installed.
Arafiq, who has been named the sole suspect in a case involving alleged corruption in outsourcing and other procurements between 2023-2026, is currently detained at the KPK's detention center. She faces charges under Indonesia's Anti-Corruption Law and the new Criminal Code. Previously, the KPK had already seized nine luxury watch boxes, five of which contained watches, during a search of Arafiq's residence.
In addition, investigators also seized one of the sister FAR [Fadia Arafiq]'s houses located in the Semarang area.
