JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still investigating the flow of orders and money in the alleged bribery of the construction of a train line at the Director General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub).
This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when asked about the involvement of Pati Regent Sudewo in the case. According to him, investigators still need to delve into several things and the determination of suspects cannot be done arbitrarily even though there is a demand from the Pati people through the Pati Community Alliance United.
"Of course, in the strategy for handling the case, we first combed from several points, yes, parties, for example, parties who are technically involved in the procurement process, involved in the process of alleged conditioning," said Budi, quoted Saturday, December 13.
"Because this is from a number of points that are interrelated to condition vendors who will hold or carry out projects at these points, which we will later link," he continued.
In addition, investigators are still looking for the command flow that led to the bribery. "And of course also the flow of money. We will investigate to whoever the alleged flow of money from this project is flowing," said Budi.
Budi said the DJKA bribery case was related to a project that spread to South Sulawesi, East Java, Central Java, West Java to Sumatra. The KPK, he continued, had also just detained a suspect for a case in the Medan area.
Therefore, all parties are asked to wait for the process of investigating the practice of bribery. "We are still exploring every fact from the statements obtained from both the suspects who have been examined and the witnesses," he said.
"Including from the last one yesterday, the KPK has detained the suspects for the locus (scene of the crime) in Medan," said Budi.

The KPK has currently only detained two new suspects in the bribery case for handling the winner of the auction for the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) project in the Medan area on December 1. The detention was carried out after the development of the case, which began with a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) held in 2023.
The two suspects who were detained were Eddy Kurniawan Winarto as a private party or company owner and Muhlis Hanggani Capah as a state civil servant (ASN) at the Railway Safety Directorate of the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia or the commitment maker (PPK) at the Medan Railway Engineering Office in 2021-May 2024.
As previously reported, the KPK had examined Pati Regent Sudewa alias Sudewo as a witness to the DJKA bribery case at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on August 27. Later, the acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement Asep Guntur Rahayu said the former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives was suspected of playing in a number of projects.
However, investigators are still looking for further evidence regarding Sudewo's involvement. "Considering that the person concerned is in several cases, we are collecting evidence for all related cases," Asep told reporters quoted by Antara, Monday, September 8.
Asep said Sudewo was suspected of playing a role in the construction of a railway line on the Solo Balapan-Kadipiro railway line, the Tegal-Semarang line, the Cianjur-Bogor line; the East Java railway line; the Sumatra railway line; and the railway line in Sulawesi.
"Insyaallah in time it will reach the person concerned," he said at that time.
