YOGYAKARTA - Secretary-General of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Hasto Kristiyanto, is reportedly a suspect in the alleged bribery case related to fugitive Harun Masiku. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not officially announced the status of a suspect against Hasto.
This news attracted public attention, given Hasto's strategic position in the world of Indonesian politics. In this article, we will discuss the alleged case, information about Hasto Kristiyanto's wealth, and reactions from the PDIP.
News Of Hasto's Determination As A Suspect
The issue regarding the status of the suspect Hasto Kristiyanto emerged after a letter of determination of the suspect allegedly issued by the KPK was circulated. In the document, it is stated that the KPK is conducting an investigation into alleged corruption involving Hasto and Harun Masiku and several other parties.
This case relates to giving gifts or promises to Wahyu Setiawan, a member of the General Elections Commission (KPU) for the 2017-2022 period, regarding the determination of the elected DPR RI members for the 2019-2024 period. In the letter, Hasto is also said to have collaborated with Agustiani Tio F to launch this process.
However, until now, the KPK has not provided an official statement regarding Hasto's suspect status. KPK spokesman, Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto, stated that his party was verifying the information.
Based on the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) accessed through the KPK's official website, Hasto Kristiyanto has a total wealth of Rp1,193,000,000 or around Rp1.1 billion. The report was last updated on December 22, 2003.
Unfortunately, there are no specific details about the assets owned by Hasto in the report. However, this number is one indicator to understand Hasto's economic profile in the midst of his brilliant political career. Information about Hasto Kristiyanto's wealth is often a public concern, especially when he was dragged into legal issues like now.
Reaction From PDIP
The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) through Chico Hakim Spokesman gave a firm response to the issue of determining Hasto as a suspect. Chico considered that there were legal politicization efforts aimed at weakening PDIP.
"It is very clear that there is an attempt to disrupt the PDI-P with the aim of drowning or taking over," Chico said when interviewed on Monday, December 24, 2024.
According to Chico, the threat in the form of an investigation warrant (sprindik) directed at Hasto and other party officials is a form of political pressure. However, he emphasized that PDIP would not give up and would continue to fight these efforts.
"Various pressures, including the threat of imprisonment, have become new energy for PDIP cadres to continue to fight for democracy in Indonesia," he continued.
However, Chico admitted that until now PDIP had not received official information regarding Hasto Kristiyanto's legal status.
KPK Investigation Letter
Based on the documents circulating, the KPK issued an investigation warrant with the number Sprin.Dik/153/DIK.00/01/12/2024 on December 23, 2024. This letter is the basis for the news that Hasto has been named a suspect in a case involving bribery against Wahyu Setiawan.
In the report, this case is a development of an investigation with the number LPP-24/DIK.02.01/22/12/2024 starting on 18 December 2024. This news adds to the pressure on Hasto and the party he leads in the midst of the national political agenda that is getting hotter.
