JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) again summoned Fuad Hasan Masyhur, who is the owner of Maktour Travel today, Monday, May 27. He was summoned as a witness because he was suspected of knowing the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) that ensnared former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo.
"The investigative team has again scheduled the summons of one of the witnesses," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Monday, May 27.
Ali said investigators needed Fuad's statement to investigate Syahrul's alleged money laundering. This is a recall because he was not present on the previous schedule.
Meanwhile, Fuad should have been summoned by investigators on Tuesday, May 14. However, he did not show his nose at the KPK's Red and White Building.
"KPK reminds witnesses to be cooperative in attending," said Ali.
Previously reported, the KPK named Syahrul Yasin Limpo, the former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) as a suspect in the alleged crime of money laundering (TPPU). This step was taken after he was caught in an alleged extortion and acceptance of gratuities.
In this case, the anti-corruption commission has confiscated a number of assets that Syahrul allegedly bought with corruption proceeds. One of them is a white Mitsubishi Sport Dakar hidden in an empty land in the Makassar area, South Sulawesi.
Meanwhile, the case of extortion and receiving gratuities that ensnared Syahrul is being tried at the Jakarta Corruption Court. He was charged with extortion of up to IDR 44.5 billion during the 2020-2023 period.
