TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Today, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined Isran Noor, East Kutai Regent, Eastern Kalimantan as a witness to Anas Urbaningrum's case.
However Isran claimed to have no idea which of Anas' case will be examined. "I don't know, that is why I wanted to ask [the investigator]. When I’m done later, I’ll explain," he said.
Spokesman of KPK, Johan Budi, said Isran would be examined for the crime of money laundering that was accused to Anas, the former chairman of Democrat Party. "[The examination is] for the money laundering case (TPPU)," Johan wrote on a short text message.
Anas was imprisoned in KPK since January 10. He became a suspect of three gratification cases: Hambalang project, Vaccine procurement of PT Bio Farma Bandung and Health Laboratory procurement at Universitas Airlangga. Lately, Anas has been determined as a suspect for money laundering.
In the case of money laundering, KPK has confiscated several assets, such as three plots of land in Bantul, two plots of land in Matirejo Village & Yogyakarta, and a land and builing in Duren Sawit, Eastern Jakarta.
Anas is not worried to go broke from the conviction of money laundering. His attorney, Handika Honggowongso, said his client had other income that is legitimate and lawful.
"It is just being confiscated. The judges will decide whether it comes from the money laundering. There are also several businesses pioneered by Mr. Anas," said Handika.
