"The examination material will definitely open before the panel of judges," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, August 15.

Ali closed the meeting on what material would be opened in court. However, he confirmed that the KPK had the information needed.

"In principle, we confirm with the parties as witnesses in order to clarify the alleged actions of the suspect in the case, which we continue to complete this investigation," he said.

Previously, the KPK had detained the former President Director of PT Amarta Karya Persero, Catur Prabowo. He was named a suspect in the alleged corruption case in the procurement of fictitious subcontractors for the 2018-2020 period.

In this case, the KPK said Catur asked the former Director of Finance of PT Amarta Karya Trisna Sutisna to prepare money for his personal interests in 2017. The request was then taken from a project carried out by PT Amarta Karya.

Not only that, Trisna also asked a number of PT Amarta Karya staff to make a business entity in the form of a CV as a subcontractor to realize the request for Chess. The fictitious company that was created was included in the project even though it did nothing

There are around 60 procurement projects that have been subcontracted fictitiously. The money obtained is then deposited in fictitious accounts, ATMs, and checks of business entities that were deliberately made to facilitate Catur's wishes.

Furthermore, the illegal money was allegedly used to pay credit card bills, gold purchases, overseas trips, golf members fees, and also given to other parties. As a result of the actions of Catur and Trisna, the state lost up to Rp46 billion.
