"Located at the Immigration Office Class I Non TPI Serang, the team of investigators has scheduled the examination of witness Anastasia W. Lesmana Thio," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday, November 1.

During the examination, investigators explored a number of things against Anastasia. One of them, said Ali, relates to the ownership of assets by related parties in the alleged corruption case.

"The person concerned was present and confirmed, among others, related to the ownership of several assets from parties related to this case which allegedly came from the flow of a number of funds in land acquisition for the construction of SMKN 7 South Tangerang at the Banten Province Education and Culture Office for Fiscal Year 2017," he said.
