JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Muhammad Nazaruddin, graft convict and former Treasurer of President SBY’s Democratic Party, revealed on Tuesday (Mar. 17) that Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono aka Ibas, SBY’s youngest son and Secretary General of Democratic Party, has received money from his company Permai Group, Beritasatu.com reported.
Nazaruddin, moreover, revealed that Ibas delivered the money he received from Permai Group to the head of each faction at the House of Representatives (DPR), including Marwan Jafar, a PKB politician who is now member of Jokowi-Kalla cabinet. Nazaruddin told the press after questioned by the Corruption Eradication Commission’s (KPK) investigators.

Both Ibas and Marwan, meanwhile, have yet commented to Nazaruddin’s accusation.
There is no statement from the KPK on whether or not to follow up the information. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
