"Whoever is named as suspect in any corruption cases, KPK always traces and take data of his or her treasure," KPK spokesman Johan Budi told ANTARA News here on Thursday.
He noted that if any of the assets were found to be the result of corruption, they would certainly be confiscated for the state.
The Corruption Eradication Commission on September 25, 2014 caught red-handed Governor Annas Maamun for receiving a bribe, then after a thorough investigation he was officially named a suspect the following day.
"After being grilled by KPK investigators, Anas was named a suspect," KPK chairman Abraham Samad said.
Abraham said Annas was charged with receiving a bribe, and thus he was facing a maximum jail term of 5 years.
He said KPK also named Gulat Manurung, a palm oil businessman a suspect for allegedly bribing the governor, adding Gulat is facing a maximum jail term of 5 years.
He said KPK confiscated money worth more than Rp2 billion including 156 Singaporean dollar and Rp500 million from the suspects.
"The graft is for license to convert forests into plantation in Riau," he said.
KPK also arrested seven persons other than the governor and Gulat on Thursday night.
