The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said a number of things were investigated from the examination of the staff of the PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto, Kusnadi on Tuesday, January 14. One of them is regarding the handover of money to the former General Elections Commission (KPU) Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan to smooth out the interim replacement process (PAW) for members of the Indonesian House of Representatives.
This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika when asked about Kusnadi's examination material in the bribery case for handling PAW members of the Indonesian House of Representatives and the obstruction of the investigation that ensnared Hasto. Kusnadi was worked on as a witness at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
"KPK is investigating the knowledge of witness K regarding the actions of suspects HK and DTI," said Tessa when confirmed by VOI, Saturday, January 18.
"Including the knowledge concerned regarding the money handed over to WS's brother," he continued.
The anti-corruption commission continues to summon a number of witnesses in the case that ensnared Hasto. Most recently, investigators have examined Maria Lestari, who is a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the PDIP faction on Friday, January 17.
After being questioned, Maria denied any communication with Hasto to smooth his steps to parliament through the PAW mechanism. "There is no (an attempt to pass Hasto, ed). That has been the decision of the party court, yes," Maria told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building.
The Chairperson of the KPK, Setyo Budiyanto, once revealed Maria Lestari during the announcement of the status of suspect Hasto on December 24, 2024.
He said, Hasto met with former General Election Commission (KPU) Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan to fulfill the request regarding the two proposed PAW submitted by the PDIP DPP, namely Maria Lestari Dapil 1 West Kalimantan and Harun Masiku Dapil 1 South Sumatra.

In the 2019 election, Maria Lestari won around 33,006 votes. He then replaced Alexius Akim who was dismissed by the PDI-P and also Michael Jeno who resigned.
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.
