JAKARTA - Director of Investigation of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Asep Guntur Rahayu said KPK investigators had no problem if PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto (HK) evaded and did not provide information when questioned.

It is certain that KPK investigators will still present evidence as evidence.

"So when, for example, evade, even if the suspect is allowed, welcome, lying is welcome, rights are disadvantaged, but we still have to present the information or documents or information we have, so that the person concerned can no longer evade it. Even if you evade it, go ahead," said Asep, Monday, December 30.

Asep explained that currently investigators are still collecting evidence and summoning witnesses before finally summoning Hasto to be examined in his status as a suspect.

"So we are at the stage collecting documents and statements from witnesses and also from other evidence, electronic evidence and others," he said.

Regarding when Hasto was questioned, Asep said that currently investigators were still collecting evidence so that when Hasto was summoned, various evidences and information bagged by investigators were complete.

"So it also answers the question of why if you check the suspect likes it later. So we first collect information from other witnesses, first collect the existing documents, so that later we don't have a piece of information," he explained.

KPK investigators on Tuesday (24/12) named two new suspects in the Harun Masiku case series, namely PDI-P (PDIP) Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto (HK) and advocate Donny Tri Istiqomah (DTI).

KPK chairman Setyo Budiyanto revealed that HK regulates and controls DTI to lobby KPU member Wahyu Setiawan in order to appoint Harun Masiku as a elected member of the DPR from the South Sumatra electoral district.

HK is also known to regulate and control DTI to actively take and deliver bribes to be handed over to Wahyu Setiawan through PDIP cadre Agustiani Tio Fridelina.

"HK together with Harun Masiku, Saeful Bahri, and DTI bribed Wahyu Setiawan and Agustiani Tio Fridelina for 19,000 Singapore dollars and 38,350 US dollars in the period 16 December 2019-23 December 2019 so that Harun Masiku can be appointed as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the 2019-2024 period from the South Sumatra electoral district," said Setyo.
