JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will forcibly pick up the President Director of PT Wahana Adyarma, Menas Erwin Djohansyah.

"KPK will make efforts in accordance with legal provisions to bring the person concerned before investigators," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, August 12.

The Minister of Rice was known to have been summoned on Monday, July 28 but was not present. So, investigators again rescheduled the recall today but he was absent again.

"It's been two times that I didn't attend without notification. The KPK appealed to the person concerned to be cooperative," said Budi.

Although it has not been detailed, the information is that there are three suspects, namely Hasbi Hasan, singer Windy Idol, and Rinaldo Septariando B as entrepreneur who is also Windy's older brother.

As previously reported, Hasbi was sentenced to 6 years in prison in this case by the Jakarta Corruption Court and had to pay a fine of Rp. 1 billion and a replacement money of Rp. 3,880,844,400 subsidiary of one year in prison. He was proven to have accepted bribes related to the handling of the Intidana Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP) case in the Supreme Court together with former Independent Commissioner Wijaya Karya (Wika) Dadan Tri Yudianto.
