“After receiving the dossier, prosecutors have to prepare the indictment and other documents before they register the case with the court. They plan to register it in early July,” KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said on Thursday.

Febri said the handover of Miryam’s dossier affirmed that the KPK’s case against the lawmaker was proceeding.

“All evidence will be shown at the trial, including that indicating both the suspect’s perjury and the intimidation she was allegedly subjected to by certain parties,” he said. The evidence includes a record of the KPK’s investigation into Miryam.

According to case investigation documents, Miryam told investigators she had distributed a portion of the Rp 5.9 trillion (US$ 398 million) project funds to dozens of legislators. However, she denied it during the trial of the e-ID case’s defendants, former Home Ministry officials Irman and Sugiharto in March.

The KPK named Miryam a suspect on April 5 for allegedly giving a false testimony in the graft trial of the two former ministry officials. She claimed KPK investigators had intimidated her into making the statement.
