Kosasih has also been prevented from leaving the country for six months to facilitate the investigation of cases. This forced effort applies to Ekiawan Heri Primaryanto as President Director of Insight Investments Management.

(Investment, red) in any form. This is in the form of one of them, indeed as stated earlier. If I'm not mistaken, there are three types of businesses, yes, three types of models. There are stocks, sukuk, and others," said KPK Investigation Director Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters as quoted from the KPK YouTube, Monday, July 8.

"This (IDR 1 trillion fund, ed) is used for its investment," he continued.
