"From us to the next call (Azis Syamsuddin, red) has not been scheduled," Karyoto said in a press conference posted on kpk ri's YouTube account, Tuesday, May 25.

Stepanus Robin Pattuju and Maskur Husain are alleged to have received a bribe from M. Syahrial amounting to Rp 1.3 billion from a rp 1.5 billion deal. The bribe was given so that Stepanus helped stop the investigation of the alleged sale and purchase of positions in Tanjungbalai which is being investigated by the KPK.
