JAKARTA - KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto and KPK Director of Investigation Endar Priantoro were reported to the KPK Supervisory Board. The report is suspected to be related to the investigation into alleged corruption in the implementation of the Jakarta Formula E race.

"Yes, that's right (there was a complaint, ed)," said KPK Dewas member Syamsudin Haris to reporters, Tuesday, January 24.

Syamsuddin did not specify the complaint. He only confirmed that the KPK Council was conducting the analysis after receiving the report.

"It is being studied by the Council," he said.

Previously, the KPK confirmed that it was investigating allegations of corruption in the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta. There are several parties who have been summoned, one of which is Anies Baswedan on Wednesday, September 7.

After the summons, news circulated that Anies would be named a suspect. This step was accused of tackling him in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

Apart from Anies, a number of parties have also been summoned for questioning. One of them, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edy Marsudi, admitted that he explained about the loan of Rp180 billion by the DKI Jakarta Dispora to pay the commitment fee to Formula E Operations (FEO).

Meanwhile, regarding the investigation into the alleged corruption, KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said they found a number of obstacles in their efforts to investigate Formula E. One of them, they have not been able to ask for assistance from the British KPK or the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).

Even so, the KPK has repeatedly conducted an exposure to the alleged corruption investigation in the implementation of Formula E in Jakarta. This step is considered good so that every development can be monitored.

"It's natural that when solving an open investigation case, it is carried out by exposing many times and so on, it is actually good for us," said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 17.
