Work Professional, KPK Ensures That Harun Masiku's Bribery Case Continues To Be Investigated

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the bribery case for the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives involving Harun Masiku continues to be investigated. Investigators are confirmed to continue working, including looking for the whereabouts of the fugitive.

"Currently, investigators are still working professionally and procedurally to find and fulfill the alleged elements of the case," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to VOI when contacted, Tuesday, September 17.

Meanwhile, when asked about the obstruction of the investigation in this case, Tessa did not respond further. This allegation arose after investigators examined witness Dona Berisa, who is Saeful Bahri's ex-wife, the briber of former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan.

"Currently there is no information that can be conveyed," he said.

Harun Masiku has now been a fugitive for four years or since 2020. This escape was carried out after being named a suspect in the bribery of former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan to serve as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives through the interim replacement mechanism (PAW).

Most recently, the Temporary Chair of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango revealed the findings of Harun's car. He said this vehicle had long been abandoned by the fugitive.

"What we found earlier, yesterday we got the cars he parked for years. That's what might be obtained," Nawawi said at an event in the Bogor area, West Java, Thursday, September 12.

Nawawi did not specify the findings. He only confirmed that the search was still being carried out until now.

In fact, Nawawi said he often contacted Rossa Purbo Bekti as the head of the task force (kasatgas) for Harun's search. "(I asked, red)'mas, how are you developing, mas?'," he said imitating his statement.

Meanwhile, the Director of KPK Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu revealed that there were findings in Harun Masiku's car. This vehicle was detected at Thamrin Residences, Jakarta on June 25, 2024.

"In the car, documents related to HM (Harun Masiku, ed) were found," Asep said at the same location on a different occasion.

Asep said this vehicle had been left in the parking lot for a long time. "(The car, red) was parked for two years," he concluded.
