"Members of the DPRD are being investigated regarding their role in organizing the auction at the Semarang City Government," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, September 23.

Apart from Moch. Imron, investigators also summoned other members of the Semarang City DPRD for the 2019-2024 period. From the information obtained, the two witnesses were Sodri and Hermawan Sulis Sunarko.

"The investigation was carried out at the Semarang Polrestabes," said Tessa.
