The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confiscated documents allegedly related to allegations of corruption in the procurement of goods and services at the house of a member of the DPR RI. This forced effort was made when investigators examined two witnesses, one of whom was Hiphi Hidupati as Head of the House Management Section of the DPR RI for the 2019-2022 period.

Hiphi was questioned by investigators on Monday, January 6 yesterday. He was worked on at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"Investigators only confiscated documents allegedly related to the procurement of goods and services at the official residence of DPR members," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika to reporters, Tuesday, January 7.

The confiscation of documents was also carried out from the hands of a private employee named Purwadi. However, Tessa did not elaborate further on the files confiscated by the investigator.

As previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption at the Secretariat General of the DPR regarding the procurement of furniture or furniture at the official residence of lawmakers. It is suspected that the filling of the living room to the bedroom was rigged.

The modes that occur in this case are violations of several provisions related to the procurement of goods and services and budget inflations or mark-ups. The official residences whose contents are corrupted are located in Kalibata and Ulujami, South Jakarta.

In this case, requests to prevent overseas have also been made for seven people. Those who are not allowed to travel are the Secretary General of the DPR RI Indra Iskandar; Head of the House Management Section of the DPR RI for the 2019-2022 period, Hiphi Hijati; President Director of PT Daya Indah Dynamics, Tanti Nugroho; and Director of PT Dwitunggal Bangun Persada, Juanda Hasurungan Sidabutar.

Then it was also prevented by the Director of Operations of PT Avantgarde Production, Kibun Roni; Project Manager of PT Integra Indocabinet, Andrias Catur Prasetya; and Edwin Budiman who are private.

The anti-corruption commission has not yet detained the suspect in this case. This is because the calculation of state losses has not yet been completed because they are suspected of violating Article 2 or Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law.
