JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned a lawyer named Simon Petrus today. He was investigated for alleged bribery by his fugitive, Harun Masiku.

"Located at the KPK's Red and White Building, the investigative team has scheduled the summons and examination of witnesses," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, May 29.

Ali has not yet detailed about Simon's summons. However, he is suspected of knowing about the interim replacement bribery (PAW) case that ensnared the former PDIP legislative candidate who is still at large.

As previously reported, Harun 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, 2023.

The KPK promised to continue looking for the fugitive as long as there was no record of death. This statement was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Johanis Tanak.

"Administratively, according to the provisions of the Population Law, if someone dies, it is recorded, reported to the population. Yes, right," Johanis told reporters as quoted on the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Thursday, January 19.

"If the population is formally absent, it means that it is not dead. It is still alive and will still be sought, that is according to the population law," he concluded.
