JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the suspicion that the Director of PT Istana Putra Agung, Dion Renato Sugiarto, gave money to the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) to get a project. Three witnesses were questioned by investigators, including BTP Bandung honorary employee Dadi Ramdhani.

"His knowledge was explored, among others, related to the alleged receipt of money flow within the Ministry of Transportation which was given by the suspect DRS (Dion Renato Sugiarto) and his friends as one of the private parties who was won to work on projects at the Ministry of Transportation," said the Head of the KPK News Ali Fikri in a written statement, Friday, August 4.

Meanwhile, the other two witnesses examined were entrepreneurs, namely Devi Rachmanniar and Kukuk Dedy Eko Cahyono. Ali did not specify where the money went and how much it was.
