Among those arrested were Syarifudin, Head of the Manpower and Transmigration Office, Syafriandi from the Marine and Fisheries Office, Saidirman from the Education and Culture Office, Ferry Ernest Parera, Head of the Government and Social Welfare Bureau, and Tejo Suroso, Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of Bengkulu Province. This incident has shaken the regional government and highlighted the importance of integrity in public service.
That morning, the atmosphere in Bengkulu seemed ordinary, but behind the scenes, a major operation was underway. Tension rose as several government officials were arrested, culminating when the Governor of Bengkulu, Rohidin Mersyah, along with his aide, was apprehended at Fatmawati Airport in the evening.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) recently revealed shocking dirty practices by seizing piles of cash suspected to be the proceeds of extortion and illegal levies.
The seized money consisted not only of Rupiah notes but also American and Singapore Dollars, highlighting the allure of this modus operandi. It turns out that the collection of this illicit money was carried out in a cunning manner, namely through budget cuts in services and honorariums for non-permanent employees, creating a scheme that harms many parties.
Rohidin is now embroiled in a shocking corruption scandal, where he is suspected of using illicit funds to finance his ambitions in the 2024 Regional Election.
Since July 2024, his subordinates have been instructed to collect funds through various suspicious means, even threatening the rotation of positions for heads of departments who fail to meet targets.

Rohidin and his two associates must now feel the coldness of iron bars after being charged under Article 12 letter e and Article 12B of the Anti-Corruption Law, as well as Article 55 of the Criminal Code. All three have officially been detained for the first 20 days at the KPK Branch Detention Center located in Jakarta, marking the beginning of a challenging legal journey for them.
Rohidin's legal counsel raised critical questions regarding his client's detention occurring during the quiet period of the regional elections.
However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) firmly stated that law enforcement would not be influenced by the ongoing political dynamics, reaffirming its commitment to carry out its duties uncompromisingly.
This shocking arrest has shaken the foundations of political stability in Bengkulu, prompting waves of Rohidin's supporters to flock to the detention site to demand clarity. Moreover, this case has also attracted national attention, considering this critical moment coincides with the approaching regional election preparations.
The Governor of Bengkulu is now caught in serious trouble after being arrested on suspicion of involvement in corruption and extortion, allegedly committed to raise funds ahead of the 2024 regional elections. This situation has shocked the public and added to the long list of corruption cases tarnishing the image of local government.
The KPK successfully secured a total of around Rp 7 billion, consisting of various currencies, including Rupiah, US Dollars, and Singapore Dollars. This discovery adds to the list of decisive actions taken by the KPK in combating corruption practices and ensuring that state finances are managed properly.
This arrest has shaken the local political arena, considering that one of the incumbent candidates in the Bengkulu regional elections is directly involved. This incident not only triggers a wave of speculation but also alters the competitive landscape in the region, adding tension and intrigue among the public who are awaiting the elections.
The suspects are now facing serious legal repercussions, where they are charged under Article 12 letter e and Article 12B of the Anti-Corruption Criminal Act, as well as Article 55 of the Criminal Code, related to extortion and gratification practices that tarnish integrity.
