DOK VOI

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirms that the search for the politician suspected of bribery, Harun Masiku, who has been a fugitive since two years ago, is still ongoing.

Later, comparisons were made on social media regarding the handling of corruption cases, including Harun Masiku and the fraudulent investment case at the Criminal Investigation Department, which later led to a number of artists being investigated.

"Harun Masiku khan has not been found until now, the location is where we don't know yet, but we continue to make these efforts. Of course we will not stop the investigation because we have also named the person concerned as a suspect," said Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission, Alexander Marwata, at the KPK building, Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, April 26.

Harun Masiku, a former legislative candidate from the PDI-P, is a suspect in the alleged bribery case related to the appointment of elected DPR members for the 2019-2024 period. Masiku has had a DPO status since January 2020. In addition, Interpol has also issued a red list against him.

The case also ensnares a former KPU member, Wahyu Setiawan, who is currently a convict. Setiawan and PDI-P cadre, Agustiani Tio Fridelina, were proven to have received 19,000 Singapore dollars and 38,350 Singapore dollars or a total of Rp600 million from Masiku.

The purpose of receiving the money is so that Setiawan can get the KPU to approve the request for an interim replacement of DPR members from the PDI-P faction from the South Sumatra 1 electoral district, namely Riezky Aprilia to Masiku.

"When the KPK investigated the KPU commissioner (Wahyu Setiawan) his statement was more or less the same and we have also seen the role of Hari Masiku. The status is clear that the person in question is a suspect. said Marwata.

Meanwhile, the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Karyoto, also said that the DPOs who had not been caught were the KPK's obligation to look for them.

"The problem with some DPOs, we don't talk specifically about Harun Masiku and anyone else, of course it's our obligation to do the search," said Karyoto.

The Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK hopes that the continued improvement in the COVID-19 pandemic situation will make the search for the DPOs more leverage.

"We are grateful that the current situation of the pandemic has begun to decline, hopefully it will decrease day by day and in time it will disappear and we as investigators have sufficient access to move to search both here, domestically and abroad," said Karyoto.

There are four suspects who have DPO KPK status, namely Kirana Kotama, in a corruption case of giving gifts or promises related to the appointment of Ashanti Sales Inc. as the exclusive agent of PT PAL Indonesia (Persero) in the procurement of SSV Ships for the Philippine government in 2014-2017.

Izil Azhar in the case with Irwandi Yusuf as the Governor of Aceh Province for the 2007-2012 period, namely receiving gratuities related to his position and which are contrary to his obligations or duties.

Surya Darmadi as the owner of PT Darmex/PT Duta Palma Group in the case of helping to give or promise something to state officials related to the Submission of Revision of Forest Function Change in Riau Province to the Ministry of Forestry in 2014.

Finally, Masiku in the bribery case is related to the determination of the elected members of the DPR for 2019-2024.
