Director of Investigation Jampidsus at the Attorney General's Office Kuntadi said the suspect with the initials DP was the attorney for Waskita-Acset Operations Cooperation (KSO).

"The DP brother as the KSO Authority of PT Waskita-Acset by investigators is seen as having obtained sufficient evidence so that the person concerned is named a suspect," Kuntadi told reporters, Tuesday, August 6.

"After a health check was carried out and declared healthy, the suspect DP was detained for the next 20 days," said Kuntadi.

In this case, DP is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 2 Paragraph 1 Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
