The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the case title or exposure of the alleged corruption investigation of the implementation of the Formula E racing event in Jakarta was not only once. This step was taken to find out the work of investigators.

"Yes, it has been many times and is currently still in the process of being investigated because it continues to complement it," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, December 28.

The expos or case title, continued Ali, was carried out as an effort to investigate the alleged corruption. Moreover, the search for evidence is still ongoing.

"(We, ed) continue to look for clues to evidence of alleged criminal incidents," he said.

The KPK previously revealed that there were a number of obstacles in investigating alleged corruption in the implementation of Formula E. One of them, they cannot ask for assistance from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), which is an anti-corruption agency based in the UK.

This request for assistance was made because Formula E Operation (FEO) as the global organizer of the electric car racing event was based in the country. In addition, the KPK could not force the institution to attend because the alleged corruption was just an investigation.

"We call them, they are still volatile," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters in Jakarta quoted on Monday, December 12.

In addition, they also could not conduct a search to find evidence. "In the investigation, you know, you can't," he said.

In investigating this alleged riot, the KPK has summoned and asked for information from a number of parties. One of them, Anies Baswedan while still serving as Governor of DKI Jakarta.

Apart from Anies, a number of parties have also been summoned for wisdom. One of them, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edy Marsudi, admitted that he explained about the loan of Rp180 billion by the DKI Jakarta Dispora to pay the commitment fee to Formula E Operations (FEO).
