THE Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the flow of gratification received by former Kutai Kartanegara Regent Rita Widyasari. The information was obtained by examining three witnesses on Thursday (25/7).
“(Witnesses) were all present. Their knowledge regarding the receipt of gratification by suspect RW (Rita Widyasari) was investigated,” said KPK spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto in a written statement, Friday (26/7).
The three witnesses are two private employees Rangga Nugraha (RN) and Agus Mulyanto (AM) and self-employed Ahmad Bun Yamin (ABY). Tessa was reluctant to provide detailed information about their statements in order to maintain the confidentiality of the investigation process.
Previously, the KPK revealed evidence of Rita Widyasari’s gratification and money laundering case. A total of 104 vehicles were confiscated by investigators.
“The motorized vehicles consist of 72 cars and 32 motorbikes,” said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto in a written statement, Sunday, June 9, 2024.
In this case, the KPK also seized Rita’s land and buildings spread across six locations. A number of rupiah and foreign currencies were also temporarily taken by investigators.
“The money in rupiah currency is worth Rp6.7 billion and in USD and other foreign currencies is worth a total of approximately Rp2 billion,” said Tessa.
The KPK strongly believes that Rita received gratification and money laundering during her tenure. Hundreds of documents and electronic evidence support the allegations. (P-5)
