JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata canceled his investigation regarding alleged violations of the meeting with litigants, namely the former Head of Yogyakarta Customs, Eko Darmanto, on Friday, October 11.

Director of Special Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak said the investigation was canceled because Alexander Marwata was on an official trip.

That reason was also stated in the KPK reply letter signed by Iskandar Marwanto as the Acting Head of the KPK Legal Bureau regarding the confirmation of Alexander Marwata's presence.

"The request for a postponement of the clarification schedule or a request for information to Alexander Marwata's brother is because Alexander Marwata is on an outside official trip," Ade told VOI, Thursday, October 10.

For that reason, the KPK or Alexander Marwata asked for a postponement of the examination until next week. Thus, the deputy chairman of the KPK can explain everything about his meeting with the former Head of Yogyakarta Customs.

"We request that it be rescheduled for clarification on Tuesday, October 15, 2024," said Ade.

Meanwhile, the alleged criminal act committed by Alexander Marwata is a direct or indirect relationship committed by the KPK leadership with a suspect or other party who is related to a corruption case handled by an anti-corruption agency.

Alexander Marwata is said to have met Eko Darmanto in March 2023.

During the meeting, the KPK was investigating Eko Darmanto in a case of alleged gratification and money laundering (TPPU).
