JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate suspected corruption cases at the Directorate General (Ditjen) of Taxes, Ministry of Finance. In fact, the suspect in the case has been banned from traveling abroad even though it has not been announced.

"Generally, we prevent each named suspect from leaving the country", said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata at the Red and White KPK building, South Jakarta, Thursday, March 4.

Meanwhile, when asked the suspect and when the proposal for prevention was made, Alex did not answer. According to him, the announcement of the names involved in the corruption case was not made to prevent investigators from being disturbed in completing their work.

"We did not reveal the names or related companies. So that fellow investigators are not disturbed by the investigation and search for evidence", he said.

"Later when there are efforts, especially with the detention, we will announce the suspect and also detain him", he added.

Previously reported, the KPK is investigating a new case related to suspected corruption at the Directorate General (Ditjen) of Taxes, Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu).

The KPK is still closing the meeting for information on the case including the names of the suspects. Also, another tax bribery mode is to bribe certain parties to pay lower taxes than they should.
