Despite being named a suspect, Juliari escaped the KPK’s Operation Capture Hands (OTT).

The KPK had been looking for Juliari Batubara. Not only the PDI-Perjuangan politician, the KPK is also going after another bribery suspect, Adi Wahyono (AW). The KPK asked both of them to surrender.

Previously, the KPK named Social Affairs Minister Juliari P Batubara as suspected of taking bribes. Juliari Batubara is suspected of receiving an IDR 8.2 billion bribe related to the acquisition of a social assistance package (bansos) for the first period of Covid-19.

The 8.2 billion rupee money was received by Juliari Batubara through the Engagement Officer (PPK) of the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) Matheus Joko Santoso and Adi Wahyono. The money supposedly came from each welfare package for Rp. 300 thousand, which was taken for Rp. 10,000 by Matheus and AW.
