The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said there were a number of agencies related to the investigation into alleged corruption in the implementation of Formula E that did not provide information. This becomes a difficulty in efforts to carry out investigations.
"In some KPK records, it is often difficult to obtain the data, information, and information needed in the case handling process because the status is still being investigated," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, January 3.
In addition, efforts to calculate state losses have not yet been completed because the investigation process is still ongoing.
"Even in practice, some other state authorities can only disclose the information needed by the KPK if it is in the investigation stage," said Ali.
Similarly, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata also said that they found a number of obstacles in their efforts to investigate Formula E. One of them, they have not been able to ask for assistance from the British KPK or the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
In fact, the KPK must ask for help because Formula E Operation (FEO) as the global organizer of the electric car racing event is based in the country.
"For example, we can't help SFO (Serious Fraud Office) yet," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters in Jakarta quoted on Monday, December 12.
The assistance referred to by the KPK is to request documents to information from related parties. Next, Alexander said they could not force related parties to attend.
"We call them, they are still volunteers," he said.
Previously, the KPK confirmed that it was investigating allegations of corruption in the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta. There are several parties who have been summoned, one of which is Anies Baswedan on Wednesday, September 7.
After the summons, news circulated that Anies would be named a suspect. This step was accused of tackling him in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
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).
