AKARTA: Two Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators answered a police summons on Wednesday in relation to a criminal case implicating two KPK deputies.
KPK legal bureau head Khaidir Ramli told reporters that investigators Wisnu Baroto and Roni Santana arrived at the National Police Headquarters in South Jakarta.
KPK deputies Chandra M. Hamzah and Bibit Samad Riyanto were named suspects two weeks ago for an alleged abuse of power in issuing travel bans on corruption suspects Anggoro Widodo and Djoko S. Chandra (who are now at large) and for lifting a travel ban on Joko.
The police subsequently accused them of having received bribes from Anggoro to halt investigations into corruption cases implicating Anggoro's company, PT Masaro Radiokom.
Police have summoned two other KPK deputies - Haryono Umar and M. Jasin - to attend questioning sessions on Thursday and two more investigators.
