KPK Finds This 'Mysterious' Document When Searching DPR Secretary General's Room News – 3 hours ago

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated a number of pieces of evidence from a search in the office of the Secretary General of the DPR RI Indra Iskandar and 4 other locations. The Corruption Eradication Commission found procurement documents and evidence of money transfers.

“During the search, documents were found, both related to financial transfers,” said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri, at his office, Jakarta, Thursday, (2/5/2024).

Ali explained that the documents confiscated were procurement documents at the DPR RI official residence. Investigators took the document because it was suspected that illegal acts had occurred in the project, namely corruption that was detrimental to state finances.

“There are allegations that it is against the law, when the procurement is carried out, we assess it from the results of the investigation, for example the formalities for determining (the winner) or its implementation,” he said.

Ali explained that financial transfer documents were also confiscated to prove that there was an element of state loss. He said investigators needed to know where the budget for the project carried out unlawfully went.

“We are still investigating this from the results of yesterday's search,” he said.

Ali said that the KPK would definitely summon the parties who had been named as suspects in this case. A summons will be made when investigators assess that the evidence found is sufficient. One thing that the Corruption Eradication Commission is waiting for is the results of calculating state losses in this case.

“Investigators will summon the suspects to attend and carry out further proceedings,” he said.

Previously, the KPK had searched 5 locations on April 29-30 2024. The locations searched included the office of the Secretary General of the DPR Indra Iskandar and 4 houses in the Jakarta area, namely Bintaro, Gatot Subroto, Tebet and Kemayoran.

These houses belong to parties who have been named suspects in the corruption case in the procurement of equipment for DPR offices. There is already a suspect in this case, but it has not been announced by the Corruption Eradication Committee. The amount of state losses in this case is estimated at billions of Rupiah.

In this case, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned a number of witnesses, including Indra Iskandar, on May 31 2023. After the examination, Indra did not provide an explanation when confirmed by the media crew regarding his presence at the anti-corruption agency's office. The KPK has also prevented 7 people from leaving the country.
