JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is again conducting an examination of Betty Elista's sworddut. During this examination, investigators confiscated a checking account belonging to the singer of the song "Eleven Twelve".

Investigators confiscated the bank account belonging to Belista as Betty Elista's nickname because it was suspected of receiving a flow of money from the corruption of Edhy Prabowo's fry export license when he was Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

"The KPK investigating team is again conducting an examination on witness Betty Elista, the singer. As for the person concerned, there was a confiscation of a bank checking account that allegedly had a flow of money from the suspect EP (Edhy Prabowo) through the suspect AM (Amiril Mukminin), ”said Acting KPK spokesman for the field of prosecution Ali Fikri in his written statement, Thursday, March 18.

This is not the first time that Belista has been questioned by the KPK. This beautiful woman had previously been examined at Raby, March 17 yesterday.

However, Edhy Prabowo claimed he did not know the sworddut. This was conveyed by Edhy shortly after he finished undergoing examination at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"Betty? You don't know me, you don't know," he said to reporters, Thursday, March 18.

In this bribery case, Edhy Prabowo was named a suspect in receiving bribes along with five other people, namely: Stafsus Minister of KKP Safri (SAF) and Andreau Pribadi Misanta (APM); Management of PT Aero Citra Kargo (PT ACK) Siswadi (SWD); The staff of the wife of the Minister of KKP, Ainul Faqih, and Amiril Mukminin (AM).

Meanwhile, the giver of the bribe was the Director of PT Dua Putra Perkasa Pratama (PT DPPP) Suharjito (SJT).

Edhy was named a suspect because he was suspected of accepting bribes from companies that had been issued a lobster seed export license using a forwarder company and were kept in one account up to Rp9.8 billion.

From this money, Edhy then received Rp3.4 billion which was earmarked for his and his wife's needs, Iis Rosyita Dewi, and two of his staff, Safri and Andreau Misanta Pribadi.

In addition, around May 2020, Edhy was also suspected of receiving 100 thousand US dollars from Suharjito through Safri and Amiril.

Furthermore, this money is used for shopping for luxury goods by Edhy and his wife in Honolulu, USA on November 21 to 23, 2020, amounting to around IDR 750 million, including Rolex watches, Tumi and LV bags, road bikes, and Old Navy clothes.
