JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has intensified its effort on investigating allegations of gratification and money laundering practices related to the 2010 Initial Public Offering (IPO) of flag carrier PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk (GIAA).
The case has implicated graft convict Muhammad Nazaruddin, former Treasurer of President SBY’s Democratic Party.
Today, KPK has summoned, for questioning, five witnesses, including President Director of PT Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia Heri Sunaryadi, at KPK’s office.
KPK has also questioned Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PT Agung Sedayu Propertindo, Go Hengky Setiawan, and President Director of PT Satwika Permai Indah, Budianto Halim, on Tuesday (Jan 6). Both have been questioned as witnesses for Nazaruddin, a suspect in the case.
Nazaruddin himself had been named as suspect in the case related to the 2010 purchase of GIAA shares with the money being collected by his company PT Duta Graha Indah (DGI).
Nazaruddin had been sentenced to 7 years in jail in another graft case related to the construction development of the athlete dormitory project in Palembang, South Sumatra. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
