JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned two witnesses in the money laundering crime (TPPU) which ensnared the former Deputy Chair of Commission V of the DPR, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Faction, Yudi Widiana Adia.

Those who were summoned to be examined as witnesses were a civil servant named Wahyu Nugroho and a private party, Nurlina Soetarto.

"The two of them were examined as witnesses in the TPPU case on behalf of the suspect Yudi Widiana," said Acting KPK spokesperson for prosecution Ali Fikri in his written statement, Thursday, February 4.

The day before, KPK investigators also summoned two civil servant witnesses related to this case. They are Us Us Ustara and Rikit Framanik.

The KPK named Yudi Widiana Adia as a TPPU suspect in February 2018. Yudi allegedly received around Rp. 20 billion when he served as Deputy Chair of Commission V of the DPR from projects of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) in Maluku, North Maluku and Kalimantan.

The KPK conducted a search and found that the money of around Rp. 20 billion was allegedly kept by Yudi in cash or had been converted into immovable and movable assets such as land in several locations and a number of cars bearing the names of other parties.

In addition, the KPK also found a mismatch between Yudi's income and the assets he owned.

Yudi was charged with Article 3 and or Article 4 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

Yudi is currently serving a 9-year sentence for accepting bribes of Rp. 6.5 billion and US $ 354,300 (worth a total of Rp. 11.5 billion) related to road projects belonging to the Ministry of PUPR for the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years which are the aspirations of the DPR.
