o:p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is probing alleged corruption in a 2020 interior design procurement for the official residences of House of Representatives lawmakers.
The antigraft body has identified possible suspects in connection with the case but declined to reveal their identities, citing the ongoing investigation.
The KPK has also refused to provide any details related to the potential suspects, so it is unclear if the corruption case involves vendors, public officials or both.
“The results of the investigation will be disclosed later,” KPK spokesman Ali Fikri told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
“Investigators are still working to complete the [case file] and looking for additional evidence,” he said.
The KPK started expanding its investigation into the House interior design procurement last week, after it opened a preliminary probe last year in response to a report from the public.
