He was examined at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, July 22.

The KPK has issued two new investigation orders (sprindik) from the development of the import corruption case at the Directorate General of Customs. One policy has listed the names of the suspects.

Meanwhile, there are no other new suspects or general suspects. "One cluster that Customs has determined the suspect. There is one, because it is still related to the construction of the case of the Customs official, so we immediately set it. Then the second cluster is still related to what interests, Customs officials, but this incident is different," said Acting (Plt) Director of Investigation KPK Achmad Taufik Husein to reporters, Tuesday, July 21.

"Well, that's what we are still one sprindik for us to determine the general sprindik. This means that we will determine the suspects after the sufficiency of the two pieces of evidence in the investigation process. So there are two clusters that then produce two sprindik from being caught in the hands of the Customs event," he continued.

As previously reported, the KPK stated that it did not appeal the decision of the panel of judges of the Corruption Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court (PN) against the leadership of Blueray Cargo (Group).
