JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned the Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan as a suspect today, Wednesday, July 12. He was asked to attend to explain the bribery case that ensnared him. "We have given the suspect the opportunity to explain his alleged actions before investigators as defense material for him later in the trial process," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, July 11. Ali said Hasbi's cooperative attitude was needed. Investigators are trying to make light of this case. "KPK hopes and reminds again that the suspect is cooperative in attending," he said. Previously, the KPK named Hasbi Hasan and Independent Commissioner of PT Wika Beton, Dadan Tri Yudianto as suspects in alleged bribery in case management. The KPK suspects that Hasbi Hasan received money from Dadan Tri Yudianto. He is suspected of pocketing part of the Rp11.2 billion received by the former Independent Commissioner of PT Wika Beton.

The money was referred to by the anti-corruption commission as a fee for cassation management with the defendant Budiman Gandi Suparman in the Supreme Court. The giving was made after Dadan asked Hasbi to help secure the KSP Inti Dana case.
