JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not received confirmation that PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto will fulfill the summons on Monday, January 13.

KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu admitted that the investigators did not provide any information.

"So far, if we haven't (confirmed, ed)," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, January 10.

Asep said investigators would usually provide information to him.

"But so far nothing," he said

As for Hasto's chances of being detained at the summons, Asep answered diplomatically. He said, it all depends on the investigator.

"We'll wait to see if there is sufficient evidence and others, we'll just have to wait," said Asep.

Hasto has been summoned by investigators to be questioned as a suspect on Monday, January 6 yesterday. However, he asked for a postponement because there was a series of PDIP Anniversary events that had already been scheduled.

He then confirmed that he would fulfill the investigator's summons on Monday, January 13. Hasto admitted that he was ready to undergo the legal process with full responsibility and would cooperate.

Previously reported, the KPK developed an interim replacement bribery (PAW) case that ensnared former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan and his fugitive, Harun Masiku. Two people were later named as suspects, namely PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and Donny Tri Istiqomah who are PDIP cadres as well as lawyers.

It didn't stop there, Hasto was also a suspect in the obstruction of the investigation. He is suspected of trying to obstruct the legal process, one of which is by asking Harun to damage his cellphone and run away after the hand arrest operation (OTT) was carried out.
