JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate allegations of corruption in land acquisition for SMKN 7 Tangserang Selatan at the Banten Province Education and Culture Office for Fiscal Year 2017.

The investigation into the alleged corruption was carried out by summoning two witnesses, namely the Banten Provincial Government Civil Servant who was the recipient of the work for the 2017 fiscal year, Endang Saprudin and the honorary staff of the Banten Province Education and Culture Office, Endang Suhaerman.

"Today at the Class I Immigration Office of Non-TPI Serang, the investigative team has an agenda for summoning witnesses," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Monday, September 13.

The material for the examination of the two witnesses is not yet known. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensured that those who were summoned were parties suspected of being involved or aware of the alleged crime they were investigating.

Previously, the KPK was investigating allegations of corruption at the Banten Province Education and Culture Office (Disdikbud). This riot is related to land acquisition to build SMKN 7 South Tangerang in 2017.

In the process, the KPK has conducted searches at the homes and offices of related parties in the Jakarta, South Tangerang, Serang, and Bogor areas on Tuesday, August 31 yesterday.

When the search was carried out, various items were found and secured which would later be used as evidence including documents, electronic goods and 2 cars.

Even though it has explained that there was a search, the KPK is still closed about the construction of this alleged corruption case and who has been named as a suspect. Later, information delivery and announcements of those involved will be made when arrests or detentions are made.
