JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched Hasto Kristiyanto's house today, Tuesday, January 7. The search was related to the alleged bribery of the interim replacement (PAW) of the DPR RI and the obstruction of the investigation that ensnared the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP).

"That's right, currently there is an active search carried out by investigators for the case with the suspect HK," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters, Tuesday, January 7.

Tessa has not yet detailed the search. This is because the forced attempt is still ongoing today.

"For further developments, it will be conveyed when the activity is complete," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

Previously reported, the KPK has named PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and Donny Tri Istiqomah as PDIP cadres and lawyers as suspects in alleged bribery related to interim shifts (PAW) for members of the DPR RI.

They are suspected of participating in bribing former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan to smooth Harun Masiku's move to become a member of the council.

In addition, Hasto is also a suspect in the obstruction of the investigation. He is suspected of carrying out a number of ways to make the case unfinished, one of which asked Harun to destroy his cellphone and run away after the hand arrest operation (OTT) was held.

In this case, Hasto and Donny have not been detained but have been prevented from leaving the country for six months. The same prohibition also applies to the former Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) of the era of President Joko Widodo, Yasonna H Laoly.
