The antigraft body detained on Friday three graft suspects, namely Wisnu Kuncoro, the company’s production and technology director; Alexander Muskitta, a businessman; and Kenneth Sutardja, the president director of engineering and manufacturing company Grand Kartech.
Another suspect, Kurniawan Eddy Tjokro, who had been on the run for two days, handed himself him to the KPK along with his lawyer.
