He witnessed the alleged receipt of gratuities and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared former Yogyakarta Customs Chief Eko Darmanto. It is known, Irwan is also the holder of a luxury branded watch retail license. "“Not (received money, ed). Because we are companies that import so, maybe it has something to do with it," Irwan told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, September 20. Even so, Irwan denied that his company was selling luxury watches from abroad related to this case. Likewise, it is suspected that Eko bought a luxury watch. He only said that all the information had been submitted to the anti-corruption commission investigators. “ This is just a statement for a few other things. So, nothing related to the purchase of the clock. That's clear, ” he said. Meanwhile, the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri has not explained about the examination of Irwan and four other witnesses in this case.

Previously, the KPK investigated allegations of gratification and money laundering (TPPU) that ensnared Eko Darmanto. The flow of money from his alleged receipt will be investigated. "We are currently conducting the allegations of gratification and money laundering (TPPU) processes (investigation, ed).
