Hasto Kristiyanto's Summons Will Be Rescheduled By KPK Next Week
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto would be summoned again next week, Tuesday, August 20. The rescheduling as a witness in the bribery case of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has been agreed upon.
"Finally, it was decided to reschedule for August 20, 2024," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 15.
Tessa said Hasto was actually called on Friday, August 16. However, he could not attend because there were other activities.
Hasto made this request directly, continued Tessa. "It is true that HK's brother was present today to ask for a rescheduling of the examination as a witness," he said.
"The reason for the application is because there is an activity schedule that cannot be left on the investigator's summons date, which is August 16, 2024," continued the spokesman with the investigator's background.
As previously reported, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto suddenly visited the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Thursday, August 15. He admitted that he would be examined as a witness in the bribery case of the Ministry of Transportation's DJKA (Kemenhub).
The bribery case began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) related to allegations of corruption at the Class I Railway Engineering Center for the Central Java Region of the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation. This action was carried out on April 11, 2023.
