JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that Haryanto as the former Director General of Manpower Placement and Expansion of Job Opportunities (Binapenta and PKK) did not fulfill the summons today. He admitted that he was sick and had confirmed his absence from investigators.

"There was one who was not present and had submitted a certificate of illness from the hospital," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, June 2.

Haryanto should have been examined as a related party in the alleged corruption case related to the placement of foreign workers or the management of the Plan for the Use of Foreign Workers (RPTKA). He is known to be one of the eight suspects even though the KPK has not officially announced it.

He was named a suspect along with Suhartono who also served as Director General of Manpower Placement and Expansion of Job Opportunities (Binapenta and PKK) of the Ministry of Manpower.

Meanwhile, the other six suspects are WP as Director of the Directorate of Foreign Labor Licensing Control (PPTKA) of the Ministry of Manpower; GW who is the Head of the Sub-Directorate and the Commitment and Coordinating Officer; and PCW, JS, AE as staff.

Returning to Budi, he said Haryanto would be called again later. However, he could not specify the exact time because the schedule would be carried out by investigators.

"Yes, we will see the progress later, yes, because investigators will of course also study the results of today's examination to other witnesses who have been present," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption related to the placement of foreign workers or the management of the Plan for the Use of Foreign Workers (RPTKA). Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu said there was an allegation that there was an extortion of prospective foreign workers (TKA) who would work in Indonesia.

This extortion, continued Asep, was carried out by the Directorate General of Manpower Placement and Expansion of Job Opportunities (Ditjen Binapenta and PKK).

"(The Ministry of Manpower at the Directorate General of Binapenta collects or forces someone to give something," Asep said when confirmed by reporters, Tuesday, May 20.

Asep said the suspects were suspected of violating Article 12e or Article 12b of the Anti-Corruption Law. The practice is alleged to have occurred for the period 2020-2023.

Searches have been carried out at a number of locations in Jabodetabek to look for evidence on May 20-22. A total of 11 cars and 2 motorbikes were confiscated and have been transferred to the KPK Confiscated Property Storage House (Rupbasan), Cawang, South Jakarta on Monday, May 26.
