Interim chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean has said the commission was investigating a possible graft case involving businessman Anggodo Widjojo.
“Our investigators are trying to elaborate,” he said as quoted by detik.com on Wednesday.
The statement was made following the antigraft body's decision to ban Anggodo from traveling overseas due to his alleged roles in a graft case at the Forestry Ministry which involved his brother Anggoro Widjojo from PT Masaro Radiokom.
The KPK is still looking for the whereabouts of Anggoro. He is suspected to have bribed several high officials in order to win telecommunication system project at the ministry.
Anggodo was sent by his brother to give funds to the KPK leaders. Anggodo instead asked for Ary Muladi to submit the money.
However, Ary later gave the money to Julianto, who remains untraceable thus far.
Anggodo’s lawyer Bonaran Situmeang said he was confused over the ban as his client was not involved in any cases to date.
“Once we heard the news about the ban, I was confused as Anggodo has not been indicated by either the KPK or the police,” he told reporters.
“Therefore, the KPK's recent investigation into the possible graft case involving my client somehow disrespects the President's statement on the halt of an investigation into cases against Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M Hamzah which also implicates my client,” he added.
Thus, Bonaran said he was waiting for the antigraft body to cease its attempts to examine his client’s involvement in the possible graft case.
“Or else, we will file a case to challenge the warrant to stop the investigation against Bibit and Chandra,” he said.
