JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not yet detained the former President Director of PT Bhanda Ghara Reksa (BGR) M. Kuncoro Wibowo today, Thursday, September 7. Even though he has been summoned as a suspect in the alleged corruption of social assistance (bansos) for the Family Hope Program (PKH) rice program. Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri's detention failed to be carried out because the other two suspects did not fulfill the investigator's summons. They asked for a reschedule. "The other two suspects confirmed that they could not attend because of that they would be recalled," Ali told reporters, Thursday, September 7. Furthermore, investigators said Ali would submit a summons. They will be asked to appear before the anti-corruption commission investigators on Monday, September 18.
