ational Police spokesperson Insp. Gen. Setyo Wasisto confirmed the institution had received a report alleging the involvement of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chairman Agus Rahardjo in corruption.
However, he said, the police had rejected the report on account of weak evidence.
“Personnel of the police’s Criminal Investigation Department [Bareskrim] requested the documents be completed first,” said Setyo as quoted by tempo.co at the National Police headquarters in South Jakarta on Tuesday.
Setya said he could not disclose details of the report submitted by Madun Hariyadi on Monday. “It’s still too early [to reveal it to the public],” he said.
Madun reported Agus to Bareskrim over his alleged involvement in a corruption case related to the procurement of, among others things, IT equipment, a trunked radio system, MTU diesel generators and their spare parts for the KPK’s new building. The procurement was funded by the 2016 state budget.
Agus was also reported for his alleged involvement in corruption connected to the development of a new IT security system for the KPK’s new building.
Setyo said the police could investigate the report only after sufficient evidence had been collected. (ebf)
