JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) will investigate other parties who received a flow of funds from Achsanul Qosasi and Sadikin regarding the results of the audit. Including, other members of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

Achsanul Qosasi and Sadikin returned IDR 2.021 million US dollars or equivalent to IDR 31.4 billion. The money is a'sewer' of the 4G Kominfo BTS project.

"We are still directing the investigation team to investigate whether the money they have received has been distributed to other parties and whether the receipt of this money also involves other parties suspected of being related to audit activities," said the Director of Investigation of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Kuntadi to reporters, Thursday, November 16.

Achsanul Qosasi and Sadikin received Rp40 billion which was intended to demonstrate the results of the audit of the 4G Kominfo BTS project which had stalled.

The money was received by them from the Commissioner of PT Solitech Media Sinergy Irwan Hermawan through Windi Purnama.

Meanwhile, for the remaining money, Kuntadi said investigators were still trying to return it. However, it did not explain in detail the steps taken so that the money could return.

"Regarding the remaining money that has not been handed over so far, we are still trying to return it or hand it over to an expert," said Kuntadi.

Meanwhile, the AGO has confiscated the money. The confiscation was carried out after Achsanul Qosasi and Sadikin returned it through their respective lawyers.
