AKARTA: After a seven-hour questioning session on Friday, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) decided not to detain the former president director of state-owned port operator Pelindo II, RJ Lino.
Lino walked out of the KPK headquarters after the questioning session without giving a statement regarding the progress of the investigation into his case. 'Just ask Pak Maqdir,' Lino said, referring to his lawyer Maqdir Ismail.
Maqdir said that during the seven hours of questioning, Lino was asked 15 questions by KPK investigators.
'He was asked to give a detailed explanation regarding the procurement of quay container cranes by Pelindo,' Maqdir told reporters.
Having declined to turn up to two previous questioning sessions, Lino, who has been named a suspect, went to KPK headquarters on Friday, and appeared resigned to subsequent detention.
On Dec.18, the KPK named Lino a suspect in a corruption case relating to the procurement of three quay container cranes in 2010. The cranes are located in Pontianak Port in West Kalimantan, Panjang Port in Lampung and Palembang Port in South Sumatra.
The KPK was able to take a step forward in its investigation after the South Jakarta District Court, in a hearing on Jan. 26, rejected Lino's pretrial motion against the antigraft body's decision to name him a suspect.
