JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects Sudewo as a member of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) to receive a fee for the development project of the railway line of the Director General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) for East Java through his trusted person.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said that the investigation was carried out by examining three witnesses today, April 22. Those who were asked were the Chairman of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) Ponorogo, Sugiri Heru Sangoko who is the Director of PT Giri Bangun Sentosa; R. Reza Maullana Maghribi as the PPK at BTP Jatim for the 2021-2022 period and Dimas Hadi Putra as the PPK Jember-Kalisat in 2023.

"Investigators are investigating materials related to alleged intervention, auction arrangements, and alleged project fee for SDW through his trusted person," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, April 22.

Later, the alleged involvement of Sudewo will still be investigated by other witnesses. The summons to other parties who are suspected of knowing will be carried out.

"From this examination, the investigators will certainly continue to investigate other parties to strengthen the testimony of witnesses," said Budi.

As previously reported, the KPK continues to develop the bribery case for the railway line development project of the Director General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) for East Java. Most recently, Sudewo as a former Member of Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2020-2024 was named a suspect.

Then, the anti-corruption commission also promised to investigate members of Commission V of the DPR RI for the period 2019-2024 who enjoyed the flow of money. One of them is Lasarus as the then Chairman of Commission V of the DPR RI and was said in the trial to enjoy a project fee of 10 percent.

He is suspected of receiving money flows with members of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the period 2019-2024 from various factions who are suspected of enjoying fees. They include Ridwan Bae, Hamka Baco Kady to Sadarestuwati.
