KPK summons former AGO top official in alleged bribery case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned former intelligence chief at the Attorney General's Office (AGO) Wisnu Subroto in an alleged bribery attempt case in which businessman Anggodo Widjojo has been named a suspect.

A KPK spokesman said Thursday that Wisnu was to be questioned as a witness in the case.

Wisnu was scheduled for an interview at 10 a.m., but he had yet to arrive at the KPK headquarters.

KPK had declared Anggodo a suspect in the alleged bribery attempt and for obstructing a KPK investigation into his brother, Anggoro Widjojo.

Anggoro is currently at large after being named a suspect in a bribery case at the Forestry Ministry’s integrated radio communication system project that has seen former legislator Yusuf Emir Faishal sent to prison.

Allegations against Anggodo began to surface after two KPK deputy chairmen, Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra M. Hamzah, were charged by the National Police with abuse of power, bribery and extortion in the KPK’s investigation of Anggoro.

Suspicion of Anggodo’s role in the case was strengthened after the Constitutional Court played wiretapped conversations between Anggodo and several senior officers from the National Police and the Attorney General’s Office, including Wisnu.

The conversations included mentions of then police chief detective Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji and then deputy attorney general Abdul Hakim Ritonga.
