JAKARTA - Researcher from the Center for Anti-Corruption Studies at Gadjah Mada University (Pukat UGM) Zaenur Rohman assessed that the determination of the Secretary General of the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto as a suspect could encourage the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to be able to arrest Harun Masiku who is still at large.
This, according to Zaenur, is needed so that the KPK can thoroughly uncover the bribery case by Harun Masiku.
"If this is true, then this will be a good start for the KPK to immediately arrest Harun Masiku and submit it to the court," Zaenur told reporters, Tuesday, December 24.
Zaenur estimates that Hasto's status as a suspect is not far from his role in carrying out the bribery crime of Harun Masiku to former KPU RI Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan.
"There is a role from parties outside Harun Masiku in giving bribes to Wahyu Setiawan, who is looking for money, who gives directions, those who take care of them are not Harun Masiku himself," he said.
The completion of Harun Masiku's case, seen by Zaenur, could be one of the good achievements of the KPK leadership at the beginning of their term in office.
"Although I say the people will not be satisfied because there is this case, but at least it is a good start to resolving cases that should have been completed in 2020 yesterday," he said.
On the one hand, Zaenur emphasized that all parties must prioritize the principle of presumption of innocence in determining Hasto as a suspect.

According to the news circulating, Hasto Kristiyanto was named a suspect in the alleged bribery case involving a fugitive from the KPK, Harun Masiku. Hasto's name is stated in the investigation warrant (sprindik) with the number Sprin.Dik/153/DIK.00/01/12/2024 dated December 23, 2024.
This Sprindik is said to have been signed by the new KPK leadership after the handover of the position on December 20, 2024.
Harun Masiku was named a suspect by the KPK on suspicion of giving gifts or promises to state officials regarding the management of the appointment of elected candidates for DPR RI members for the 2019-2024 period at the General Election Commission (KPU).
Harun has been on the wanted list (DPO) since January 17, 2020 after being absent from the summons of KPK investigators. Another party involved in this case is Wahyu Setiawan, a former member of the KPU for the 2017-2022 period, who has been convicted and has served seven years in prison. Wahyu is now released from condition at the Class I Prison in Kedungpane Semarang, Central Java.
With the emergence of news of Hasto's determination as a suspect, the public is waiting for official clarification from the KPK regarding the status of this case.
