KPK searches PT Masara Radiokom

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched Wednesday the office of radio communications company PT Masara Radiokom as part of its investigation into a bribery case.

KPK spokesman Johan Budi told reporters that his team was searching for evidence.

The anti-graft body has been investigating the case, in which the company's directo, Anggoro Widjojo, has been named suspect.

Anggoro is accused of involvement in the embezzlement of funds from the Rp 180 billion (US$18 million) procurement of a radio communications system (SKRT) by the Forestry Ministry between 2006 and 2007.

Anggoro is suspected of having bribed former legislator Yusuf Erwin Faishal and other members of the Commission IV overseeing forestry and agriculture at the House of Representatives including Fachri Andi Leluasa, Hilman Indra and Azwar Chesputra.

The Corruption Court has sentenced Yusuf to four-and-a-half years in jail for his role in this and another bribery case. (dre)
