JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the return of confiscated evidence could not be done just like that. Investigators could use it until the trial process went on. This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika in response to accusations by PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto regarding his personal record book that had not been returned. He said, investigators who would determine the fate of the confiscated goods. "The evidence that was confiscated can be returned if the investigator assessed that the goods in question were not used for the proof of the ongoing case. If it is still used then it will continue to be used until the trial is complete," said Tessa when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, August 20. Tessa also denied the collection of the notebook related to the process of regional head election (pilkada). The confiscation was confirmed only to investigate the alleged interim bribery (PAW) that ensnared former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku. "All the procedures above are not based on political agendas including regional elections," he said. Previously reported, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto quipped that KPK never returned his notebook. In fact, there was a PDIP strategy for the 2024 Pilkada. The book was confiscated by the anti-corruption commission investigator from his staff, Kusnadi. This incident occurred when Hasto was examined as a witness in the Harun Masiku case who is still a fugitive. Not yet (reported, red) because the pilkada may not yet run. The document contains the secret of the party. That includes the implementation of the election. That's a motive," said Hasto at the PDIP Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Saturday, August 17th.

Hasto emphasized that the KPK must guarantee that the confiscated documents are not misused for certain interests. Moreover, investigator Rossa Purbo Bekti is accused of not making coercive efforts according to the procedure. "Brother Rossa had to disguise himself, secondly lying, thirdly seizing, the fourthly intimidating the fifth to examine Sisnadi's brother without a summons. Is this justified by the legal apparatus who should enforce the legal mechanism properly?" he said.
