ippo Group CEO James Riady has fulfilled the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) summons to appear on Tuesday at its Jakarta headquarters for questioning in connection with the corruption case on the Meikarta mega development project in Bekasi, West Java. Investigators were also scheduled on Tuesday to question Neneng as a suspect in the case.
The business tycoon arrived at around 9:30 a.m. and had still not left the building by 12:15 p.m., presumably because he was still being questioned.
KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said on Monday that its investigators would question James as a witness in connection with the nine suspects in the case, including Bekasi Regent Neneng Hasanah Yasin and Lippo Group operational director Billy Sindoro.
The antigraft body has alleged that Billy instructed his subordinates to promise a "commitment fee" of Rp 13 billion (US$853,884) to Neneng.
Other Bekasi officials and Lippo Group consultants and employees were also named suspects in the case. (dmr)
