Former Commissioner of the General Elections Commission (KPU) Wahyu Setiawan admitted that he knew a number of parties who were prevented from leaving the country in the case of interim bribery (PAW) involving former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku.

This was conveyed by Wahyu after undergoing examination as a witness at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, Monday, July 29. He was questioned by investigators for about six hours.

"There are several (names, ed) who know, some do not," Wahyu told reporters at the location.

Wahyu did not elaborate more on who he knew. However, he admitted that he did not know the staff of the PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto, Kusnadi, who was also prevented from leaving the country.

"Don't know (with Kusnadi, ed)," he said.

He also said he did not know anything about the prevention abroad. This is because Wahyu claims investigators did not ask him during the examination.

"Earlier, the material was not like that. I was asked what else I had conveyed to investigators, maybe I could ask investigators directly," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK investigated Wahyu Setiawan regarding the bribery case related to the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives who ensnared him and former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku. He underwent examination since 09.50 WIB.

"That's right, witness WS was present and asked for information in the bribery case with the suspect HM," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters in a written statement, Monday, July 29.

This is not the first time Wahyu has been questioned by investigators. He was also worked on by investigators on Thursday, December 28 and was asked about the bribery of former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku who was still at large.

In addition, KPK investigators are also exploring several things, including Harun's whereabouts. However, Wahyu admitted that he did not know about it.

As for the bribery case of Harun Masiku, investigators have prevented five people from leaving the country. One of them is the staff of the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto, Kusnadi.

In addition, the KPK also opens up opportunities to apply the article on obstruction of justice. This possibility opened up after Dona Berisa, who is Saeful Bahri's ex-wife, was examined as a witness some time ago.
