T
he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned on Wednesday morning North Sumatra Governor Gatot Pujo Nugroho as a witness in a bribery case worth US$20,000.
Gatot arrived at KPK headquarters at 9:40 a.m. with his legal team led by Razman Arief Nasution, according to kompas.com
KPK investigators questioned Gatot today as a witness in a case that involves judges in Medan, North Sumatra and lawyer OC Kaligis after skipping questioning on July, 13.
The KPK has slapped a travel ban on Gatot after raiding his office.
The bribery is alleged to relate to a Medan State Administrative Court (PTUN) ruling that the North Sumatra Prosecutor's Office had no authority to investigate the province's administration finance bureau head Ahmad Fuad Lubis in the alleged misappropriation of regional assistance and assistance funds of the provincial administration.
The three PTUN judges ' Tripeni Irianto Putra, Amir Fauzi and Dermawan Ginting -- were arrested after accepting $20,000 from Kaligis' aide, Yagari 'Gerry' Bhastara Guntur, during a KPK sting operation earlier this month. (ika)(++++)
