JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed that KPK has blocked several bank accounts belonging to graft suspect Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan related to further investigation into the case implicating the Police Chief nominee.

KPK Deputy Chief Bambang Widjojanto, however, was reluctant to reveal the details of Budi Gunawan’s bank accounts being blocked by the KPK.

As reported earlier, KPK has named Budi Gunawan as graft suspect since Tuesday (Jan. 13) over suspected transactions found in the bank accounts belonging to him.

KPK charged Budi with Article 12 letter a or b, Article 5 Paragraph 2, and Article 11 or 12B of the Anti-Corruption Law juncto Article 55 Paragraph 1 point 1 of the Criminal Code (KUHP).

KPK also asked the Immigration office to ban Budi altogether with his son, Muhammad Herviano Widyatama, from overseas travel. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
