Novel Baswedan Helped the Arrest on Minister Edhy Prabowo, Says KPK

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) acting spokesperson Ali Fikri on Wednesday said the agency mobilized more than three task force teams in the arrest against the Maritime and Fisheries Minister Edhy Prabowo earlier today.

Ali Fikri said one of the teams tasked on the arrest was led by senior investigator Novel Baswedan. The KPK had also tasked a prosecutor in the operation by leading one of the task force teams.

“One of the task force leaders was indeed led by Novel Baswedan,” he confirmed on November 25.

The anti-graft agency has yet explained in detail regarding the arrest against Minister Edhy Prabowo. However, the state-minister’s arrest is strongly believed to be linked to the controversial policy regarding lobster seeds exports.
