The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the investigation into the durian cardboard scandal that dragged the general chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar was experiencing difficulties. Two witnesses who knew the alleged bribery had died.

"This is indeed a lot of trouble. Because several key witnesses have died," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto to reporters, Tuesday, November 29.

However, Karyoto did not specify the witness who had died. He just made sure the investigation of the scandal continued.

The collection of evidence and information will continue to be carried out. The investigation is confirmed to continue before there is a letter of termination.

"We have not stopped the investigation, and the investigation is still ongoing," he said.

This durian cardboard scandal was revealed in the trial of the bribery case at the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration (Kemenakertrans) which has now changed its name. At that time, Cak Imin became the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration.

At the trial, Director General of the Directorate General of Transmigration Area Development (P2Ktrans) Jamaluddien Malik said Muhaimin received Rp400 million. The money from the budget cuts at the directorate in 2013 was stored in a durian cardboard box.

Not only that, the name Cak Imin has also been mentioned in the bribery case for the infrastructure project of the Ministry of PUPR in Maluku and North Maluku for the 2016 fiscal year.

In this case, Musa Zainudin, who had sat in the chair of the prisoner, said that he had given Rp6 billion of the Rp7 billion he received as project fee to Cak Imin. However, the money was given not directly but through Jazilul Fawaid, who at that time was Secretary of the PKB Faction.
