KPK Summons Relatives Fugitive Harun Masiku Today

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned a relative of fugitive Harun Masiku, Daniel Masiku today, Monday, January 20. This lawyer was examined as a witness in the bribery case for the management of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the 2019-2024 period.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters in her statement, Monday, January 20.

Daniel is currently present and is undergoing an examination at the anti-corruption commission office. The examination material has not been detailed.

Meanwhile, Daniel has been questioned by KPK investigators on January 19, 2021. At that time, he was asked for information to complete the file of the suspect Wahyu Setiawan as a former KPU commissioner.

In addition, investigators are also examining other witnesses in the Harun Masiku case. They are Donny Tri Istiqomah who is a PDIP cadre as well as a lawyer; Viryan as a member of the 2017-2022 Indonesian KPU; Sintia Yuliantika as a housewife; Patrisius Hitong who is an employee of BUMN Bank Mandiri; and Donfri Jatnika as a private employee.

Previously reported, the KPK developed an interim replacement bribery (PAW) case that ensnared former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan and his fugitive, Harun Masiku. Two people were later named as suspects, namely PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and Donny Tri Istiqomah who are PDIP cadres as well as lawyers.

It didn't stop there, Hasto was also a suspect in the obstruction of the investigation. He is suspected of trying to obstruct the legal process, one of which is by asking Harun to damage his cellphone and run away after the hand arrest operation (OTT) was carried out.
