JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the examination of the PDI-P Secretary General (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto will be carried out on Monday, June 10. He will be questioned as a witness regarding the bribery case of former PDIP legislative candidate Harun Masiku who is still at large.

"The person concerned was summoned as a witness to attend the KPK's Red and White Building on Monday, June 10, 2024," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, June 6.

Hasto said Ali would be questioned at 10.00 WIB. Ali asked the former member of the DPR RI to cooperate in fulfilling the summons.

"We hope that the person concerned will attend according to the schedule of the summons," he said.

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).

The search for Harun was rushed again after the KPK heard new information. In fact, they have examined three witnesses who have family relations with the fugitive, including a lawyer named Simon Petrus.

Harun 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.
