The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named the Secretariat General of the DPR Indra Iskandar as a suspect in alleged corruption in the procurement of goods at the house of a member of the DPR, not a new item. The investigation warrant (sprindik) is said to have been issued since last year.

"Last year there was already an investigation warrant for procurement at the Indonesian Parliament," KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, March 10.

Even so, the anti-corruption commission has not officially announced Indra's status. This is because the determination of the suspect was carried out at the 2019-2024 KPK leadership or in the era of Firli Bahuri's leadership before being replaced by Nawawi Pomolango.

In that era, the suspect's announcement was officially carried out in conjunction with the detention. "What is now, what do we know, when there is a suspect determination or sprindik can be announced immediately," explained Tessa.

Meanwhile, Indra Iskandar filed a pretrial lawsuit in May 2024 after being named a suspect. However, he withdrew it and was granted the South Jakarta District Court (PN).

As previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption at the Secretariat General of the DPR regarding the procurement of furniture or furniture at the official residence of lawmakers. It is suspected that the filling of the living room to the bedroom was rigged.

The modes that occur in this case are violations of several provisions related to the procurement of goods and services and budget inflations or mark-ups. The official residences whose contents are corrupted are located in Kalibata and Ulujami, South Jakarta.

In this case, requests to prevent overseas have also been made for seven people. Those who are not allowed to travel are the Secretary General of the DPR Indra Iskandar; Head of the House Management Section of the DPR for the 2019-2022 period, Hiphi Hidati; President Director of PT Daya Indah Dynamics, Tanti Nugroho; and Director of PT Dwitunggal Bangun Persada, Juanda Hasurungan Sidabutar.

Then it was also prevented by the Director of Operations of PT Avantgarde Production, Kibun Roni; Project Manager of PT Integra Indocabinet, Andrias Catur Prasetya; and Edwin Budiman who are private.

The KPK has not yet detained the suspect in this case. This is because the calculation of state losses has not been completed because they are suspected of violating Article 2 or Article 3 of the Corruption Act.
