JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will summon the party suspected of being related to the bribery case for the procurement of Airbus aircraft at PT Garuda Indonesia, Tbk. They will be questioned, including former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives Chandra Tirta Wijaya. "For the needs of the investigation process, the KPK will certainly summon various parties," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, October 7. Ali said they would be summoned to explain the alleged bribery that occurred in 2010-2015. It is hoped that the information presented in front of investigators can make light of the actions of the perpetrators. Furthermore, the KPK ensures that the alleged bribery will continue to be investigated thoroughly. The available evidence will be disclosed in court to ensnare the perpetrators in this case. "Currently, the KPK has several pieces of evidence to complete the investigation file and is ready for trial at trial," he said. As previously reported, the KPK has named a former member of the DPR and one company as a suspect in the bribery case of PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk. This determination is the development of the 2010-2015 Airbus aircraft procurement case. It was not specified who the former members of the DPR and the company were suspects. A new name will be conveyed by the anti-corruption commission in full along with efforts to force detention. Even so, the name Chandra Tirta Wijaya, who previously sat as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the National Mandate Party (PAN) faction, has been prevented abroad. This prevention was carried out by the Directorate General of Immigration at the request of the KPK for six months.
