JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined Wisnu Haryana today, Friday, February 28. The former secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture's Agricultural Quarantine Agency (Kementan) was worked on by investigators as a witness to the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) that ensnared former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters in a written statement, Friday, February 28.

It has not been detailed about the examination material carried out by the investigator by Tessa. However, Wisnu has complied with the summons.

Meanwhile, Wisnu has become a suspect in the alleged corruption in the procurement of static X-rays, mobile X-rays, and X-ray trailers/containers for the 2021 fiscal year. This case is said to have caused state financial losses of Rp. 82 billion when the Ministry of Agriculture was led by Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL).

As previously reported, Syahrul Yasin Limpo is still a suspect in alleged money laundering. This step was taken after the KPK developed a case of extortion and acceptance of gratuities that ensnared him.

In this case, the anti-corruption commission has confiscated a number of assets that Syahrul allegedly bought with money from corruption. Among them is a white-twisted Mitsubishi Sport Dakar hidden in an empty land in the Makassar area, South Sulawesi.
