JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned a staff from the Center for Thematic Mapping and Integration of the Geospatial Information Agency (PPIT BIG).

"Dheny Trie Wahyu Sampurno, PPIT BIG staff 2015 was examined as a witness for the PRK suspect (Priyadi Kardono)," said Acting KPK spokesperson for prosecution Ali Fikri in a written statement, Tuesday, March 16.

It is not certain what material the investigators will study when examining Dheny. However, he is suspected of knowing about the alleged corruption when the satellite procurement ii was carried out.

Previously reported, in the CSRT corruption case at the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) in collaboration with LAPAN, the KPK initially named two suspects, namely Priyadi Kardono (PRK) and Muchamad Muchlis (MUM).

Priyadi Kardono is the Head of the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) for the 2014-2016 period, while Muchamad Muchlis is the Head of the Center for Aerospace Technology Utilization (Kapusfatekgan) LAPAN for the 2013-2015 period.

Furthermore, the KPK appointed the President Commissioner of PT Ametis Indogeo Prakarsa (AIP), Lissa Rukmi Utari as a suspect in the alleged corruption case in the procurement of High Resolution Satellite Imagery (CSRT) at the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) in collaboration with LAPAN.

He is suspected of having a meeting with the Head of the Geospatial Information Agency for 2014-2016 Priyadi Kardono, and the Head of the Center for Aerospace Technology Utilization (Kapusfatekgan) LAPAN in 2013-2015 Muchamad Muchlis.

This meeting then resulted in an engineering agreement on various Terms of Reference (TOR) documents as the basis for the implementation of this project.

In addition, the KPK also suspected that Lissa had received payment in full and that she was also active in collecting payments without complete required documents. Several price payment documents were changed.
