JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said four of its employees fulfilled the summons of the Polda Metro Jaya today. They cooperated in undergoing an investigation related to the investigation into the meeting between the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata and the former Head of Yogyakarta Customs and Excise Eko Darmanto as litigants.

"Today, four KPK employees cooperatively fulfilled their invitation to provide their statements to the Polda Metro Jaya," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, October 18.

Tessa did not specify who the employees were examining. However, the spokesman with the investigator's background confirmed that the four of them would provide correct information.

"According to the information needed in the examination process," he said.

The KPK ensures respect for the ongoing legal process. "We also invite the public to participate in overseeing and monitoring the process," said Tessa.

Previously reported, Polda Metro Jaya investigated allegations of criminal acts committed by KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata when meeting former Yogyakarta Customs Chief Eko Darmanto. He was reported because he was considered to be in direct contact with the suspect or other parties related to corruption cases.

Alexander emphasized that he did not get any profit from his meeting with Eko after being questioned on Tuesday, October 15. They also only discussed the alleged corruption in Customs and Excise.

"Did I make a profit from that meeting? I say here, I have absolutely no profit," Alexander Marwata told reporters, Tuesday, October 15.
