Mangkir Pemeriksaan, KPK Peringatkan Plh Dirjen Minerba Kementerian ESDM Agar Kooperatif
JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) reminded the Director General of Mineral and Co-operation, Idris Froyoto Sihite, to fulfill the investigator's summons. The warning was delivered after he was absent from summons as a witness regarding the alleged corruption of performance allowances at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources on Thursday, March 30.
"KPK hopes that the person concerned will cooperate with the summons of the investigating team," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, March 31.
Ali said Idris' statement was needed to clarify the corruption case at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. However, he did not attend without a clear reason.
"Rescheduling will be prepared soon," he said.
Previously reported, the Director of Investigation of the KPK Asep Guntur stated that Idris would be questioned because investigators found the key to Pakubuwono Apartment, Menteng when searching his office. In the apartment unit, the anti-corruption commission found Rp1.3 billion in cash.
Thus, investigators feel the need to do an in-depth investigation. Including investigating the ownership of the apartment.
For information, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources which ensnared 10 people. It is suspected that the allowance money was cut and entered into a private pocket.
