The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections to prevent and prevent and prevent the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto and Donny Tri Istiqomah from leaving the country.

This was done after the KPK named the Secretary General of PDIP and Donny, who were trusted by Hasto as suspects in the bribery case that dragged Harun Masiku.

"At this time, the demarcation was also followed up. The investigation of the person concerned," said KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu at the KPK's Merah Putih building, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 24, 2024.

Asep said that the initial deviation of Hasto and Donny was valid for six months. Thus, both are prohibited from leaving the country for a certain time.

"The check is as usual for 6 months, later it can be extended and so on. Not only certain people, yes, that's all like that," said Asep.

Hasto is said to be actively involved in the bribery case process against former KPU RI Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan with Harun Masiku.

In addition, Hasto is also suspected of obstructing efforts to investigate the KPK to explore the bribery process against former KPU RI Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan in order to make Harun the elected candidate for the DPR RI in the 2019 Legislative Election.

"The suspect Hasto Kristiyanto and his friends deliberately prevented, hindered or thwarted directly or indirectly the investigation of the alleged corruption case," he explained.

When the KPK conducted a hand arrest operation (OTT) on January 8, 2020, Hasto ordered Harun to submerge his cellphone into the water and immediately escape so as not to be caught by the KPK.

Then, on June 6, 2024 before Hasto was examined as a witness by the KPK, Hasto ordered his staff, Kusnadi, to drown cellphones so that they were not found by the KPK.

"Brother HK (Hasto) gathered several witnesses related to the Harun Masiku case and directed the witness not to provide true information," said Setyo.

For information, Harun Masiku was named a suspect by the KPK on suspicion of giving gifts or promises to state officials regarding the management of the appointment of elected candidates for DPR RI members for the 2019-2024 period at the General Election Commission (KPU).

Harun has been on the wanted list (DPO) since January 17, 2020 after being absent from the summons of KPK investigators.

Another party involved in this case is Wahyu Setiawan, a former member of the KPU for the 2017-2022 period, who has been convicted and is serving a seven-year prison sentence. Wahyu is now free of condition at Kedungpane Class I Prison Semarang, Central Java.
