JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) explored a number of things when examining former General Elections Commission (KPU) Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan on Thursday, December 28 yesterday. Including asking again about the receipt of bribes from former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku, who is currently at large.

"It was confirmed again for the incident of giving bribes to the witness," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, December 29.

Ali did not specify what investigators were investigating. However, Wahyu's statement is believed to make light of the receipt of the bribe.

In addition, investigators are also investigating the whereabouts of Harun from Wahyu. Because, until now the anti-corruption commission has not found his whereabouts.

"Investigating information on the whereabouts of the suspect HM," said Ali.

Meanwhile, Wahyu, after being questioned, said that he had explained everything he knew to investigators. However, he is also the same as the anti-corruption commission because he does not know where Harun is.

"Yes, if I know, I will arrest him, help the KPK," Wahyu told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, December 28.

He hopes that Harun can be caught and tried soon. Wahyu objected that the bribe could still roam even though he had been sentenced to prison.

"Hopefully I should have been arrested immediately. I have already carried out my responsibilities. If Harun Masiku is not arrested, I also question the just law. That's a principle for me," said the former KPU commissioner.

As previously reported, Harun Masiku is a suspect in giving bribes to former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan. This gift was given so that he could sit as a member of the DPR through interim shifts (PAW).

He has been on the wanted list (DPO) since January 29, 2020. Most recently, the KPK informed that the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Interpol Indonesia had issued a red notice on behalf of Harun Masiku on Friday, July 30.

In carrying out this search, the KPK has collaborated with a number of parties such as the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police and the Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham).
