JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned the former Head of Makassar Customs Andhi Pramono as a suspect in the alleged receipt of gratuities today, Monday, June 19. He is currently undergoing investigation. "Yes, it is true that the investigation team will be investigated today," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, June 19. It is not certain whether Andhi will be detained or not, said Ali. The decision will later be taken by investigators. "The issue of the detention of the suspect will certainly be fully the authority of the investigative team with the requirements and considerations as stipulated by the Criminal Procedure Code," he said. Previously, Andhi Pramono was named a suspect in the alleged receipt of gratuities. This determination began after the public highlighted his assets. KPK made a clarification.

The KPK ensures that the determination of the suspect is in accordance with applicable regulations. Evidence of receipts by Andhi has been pocketed by investigators.
