JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned four witnesses in the investigation of the alleged corruption case in the procurement of projects at PT Amarta Karya in 2018-2020.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building, South Jakarta," said Acting KPK Spokesman Ali Fikri in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, July 18.

The Corruption Eradication Commission revealed that the modus operandi in this case was suspected to have been an unlawful act related to the implementation of a fictitious project that resulted in state financial losses.

However, the KPK is currently unable to fully inform the construction of the case and who have been named as suspects in the case.

The party designated as a suspect will be announced when the investigation is sufficient and will be submitted at the time of forced arrest or detention.
