JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the black-stream Toyota Camry car allegedly belonging to the fugitive, Harun Masiku, had been confiscated. This forced effort was also carried out on the documents that investigators had also found in it.

"Investigators can only confirm that the car and its contents have been confiscated by the KPK," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters quoted on Wednesday, September 18.

Meanwhile, regarding the exact time the car was found, Tessa did not want to talk much. He said investigators suspected of bribery between time (PAW), a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives who dragged Harun Masiku, were silent.

Including in the pursuit process of the former PDIP candidate in the 2019 Legislative Election. "Investigators do not want to be noisy and are still working in the context of searching for HM's brother or fulfilling the elements of the case that are being handled," he said.

As previously reported, Harun Masiku has now been a fugitive for four years or since 2020. This escape was carried out after being named a suspect in the bribery of former KPU Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan to serve as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives through the interim replacement mechanism (PAW).

Most recently, the Temporary Chair of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango revealed the findings of Harun's car. He said this vehicle had long been abandoned by the fugitive.

What we found earlier, yesterday got cars parked for years. That's all possible," Nawawi said at an event in the Bogor area, West Java, Thursday, September 12.

Nawawi did not specify the findings. He only confirmed that the search was still being carried out until now.

In fact, Nawawi said he often contacted Rossa Purbo Bekti as the head of the task force (kasatgas) for Harun's search. "(I asked, red)'mas, how are you developing, mas?'," he said imitating his statement.

Meanwhile, the Director of KPK Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu revealed that there were findings in Harun Masiku's car. This vehicle was detected at Thamrin Residences, Jakarta on June 25, 2024.

"In the car, documents related to HM (Harun Masiku, ed) were found," Asep said at the same location on a different occasion.

Asep said this vehicle had been left in the parking lot for a long time. "(The car, red) was parked for two years," he concluded.
