JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said calling someone in two different corruption cases was a common thing.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika who denied that her agency was targeting PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto through the DJKA Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) bribery case. Investigators do not simply call someone without any interest in the alleged riot handled.

"Is the KPK targeting HK? Of course, it is impossible for the summoning of witnesses to have nothing to do with it," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, July 19.

"If one witness finds out and needs his statement to explain in several different cases, friends know that many witnesses are like that," he continued.

Tessa explained that with this examination, the assumption of political intervention should be refuted.

If it is said that there is political intervention, of course there will be no witnesses present or stuck, stop at all. However, this is still going on waiting for the activities carried out by investigators," explained the spokesman with the investigator's background.

As previously reported, the KPK summoned PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto in the bribery case of the Ministry of Transportation's DJKA (Kemenhub). He was questioned on Friday, July 19.

Hasto in the witness examination schedule was written as a consultant. The distribution was in accordance with his recorded work.

In addition, the KPK has also summoned Hasto in the Harun Masiku case. He then complied with the investigator's summons on Monday, June 10.
