"The examination was carried out by the South Jakarta KPK's Merah Putih building, on behalf of Robby Kurniawan as ASN at the Ministry of Transportation and Expert Staff of the Minister of Transportation," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 4.

The KPK previously conducted a Hand Catch Operation (OTT) related to allegations of corruption at the Class I Railway Engineering Center for the Central Java Region of the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA).

The KPK then named 10 suspects who were immediately detained in connection with the alleged corruption case of rail construction and repair projects in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi.

2. Railway Construction Project in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
