TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the flow of corruption fund for the electronic identity card or e-KTP project through the office of money changer service.
On Tuesday, KPK summoned the two witnesses from the money changer company, namely Commissioner of PT Berkah Langgeng Abadi July Hira and an employee, Nunuy Kurniasih. Both were examined as witnesses for the suspect Anang Sugiana Sudihardjo.

“The examination is scheduled at 3 pm. The investigators are still waiting until the afternoon,” said KPK spokesman, Febri Diansyah, in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 30. KPK also examined Setya Novanto and a private party on behalf of Denny Wibowo.
The money changer investigation is to prove the illegal movement of the e-KTP project fund. The investigators suspect that there is a movement in the fund through the money changer so it would not be easily detected by the law enforcer, Febri said.
The money changer company is used to provide the money from other countries by passing more than two countries that have to be sent to the recipients in Indonesia. “The money transaction mechanism is relatively non-transferable, but there is an acceptance in both countries,” he said.

The involvement of the money changer company also appeared in the e-KTP corruption trial in the Corruption Court with Setya Novanto as the defendant. KPK prosecutors presented the witnesses to find out what method was used to flow the fund to Setya Novanto.
