Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto expressed his cellphone objections confiscated by investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This statement was made after undergoing an almost five-hour examination at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, June 10. Initially, Hasto said that he was only examined for 1.5 hours by investigators regarding the Harun Masiku case, which is still at large. He claimed that this process had not been included in the subject matter. "“ I was in a very cold room for almost four hours and together with face-to-face investigators the remaining 1.5 hours were left cold," Hasto said, starting his statement to reporters. "My “ my investigation is not yet in the main case," he continued. That's when the investigator then called his assistant, Kusnadi. The “ (He, red) was called he said to meet me but then his bag and cellphone in my name were confiscated, "” he said. Not accepting this treatment, Hasto claimed that he had argued with investigators. According to him, the confiscation was not in accordance with applicable regulations. In addition, Hasto also felt that he did not get his rights according to the applicable Criminal Code. "“Then there was the cellphone that was confiscated and I objected to the cellphone. Because everything must be based according to the criminal procedural law," he explained. “ Because everything must be based in accordance with criminal procedural law. Because this is already a form of pro justisia action so that the right to be accompanied by legal advisors should be fulfilled by those who enforce the law, "” continued the former member of the DPR RI. As previously reported, Hasto Kristiyanto, who is the Secretary General of PDIP, will be questioned by the KPK as a witness regarding Harun Masiku. He became the fourth witness to be summoned after pocketing new information.

Meanwhile, 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).
