The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned the president director of Bank Artha Graha International, Andy Kasih, on Friday as a witness in a bribery case involving the election of the Bank Indonesia senior deputy governor in 2004.
“He was questioned as a witness of four suspects; Hamka Yandhu, Endin Soefihara, Dhudie Makmun Murod and Udju Djuhaeri,” KPK spokesman Johan Budi told reporters.
The suspects allegedly received bribes for the election of Miranda Swaray Goeltom as the BI senior deputy governor.
Andy who was questioned for about two hours did not say anything when his questioning session finished at 11:21 a.m.
The bribery scandal came to light after the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) legislator, Agus Condro, confessed last month that he and several other politicians had each received 10 traveler’s checks worth a total of Rp 500 million (US$54,000) after voting for Miranda in the election. The traveler’s checks were allegedly from the bank.
