TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested two suspects in the electronic identity cards (e-KTP) graft case.

They are former president director of state printing company Percetakan Negara and chairman of the state printing consortium, Isnu Edhy Wijaya, and the head of the information technology technical team for the e-ID application from the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, Husni Fahmi.

“For the purposes of the investigation, suspects ISE and HSF are detained for 20 days,” said KPK deputy chair Lili Pintauli Siregar at her office, Jakarta, Thursday, Feb. 3.

The anti-graft body suspected that Isnu and businessman Andi Narogong lobbied the Ministry of Home Affairs officials to win the consortium in the E-KTP project auction. Andi was previously sentenced to 13 years in prison as he was found guilty in the corruption case.

Meanwhile, Husni Fahmi as the head of the technical team and the tender committee was suspected of playing a role in guarding the consortium in this project. He was suspected of receiving US$20,000 and Rp10 million from this project.

The KPK would detain both of them at the Pomdam Jaya Guntur Detention Center from February 3 to February 22, 2022. The detention period is subject to extension depending on the investigation.

In the E-KTP graft case, KPK had caught 14 perpetrators, including two officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs Irman and Sugiharto; entrepreneurs Andi Narogong, Anang Sugiana Sudihardjo, and Made Oka Masagung. Former DPR chairman Setya Novanto and his nephew Irvanto Hendra Pambudi Cahyo had also been convicted in this case.

The KPK had also named a former DPR member from the Golkar faction Markus Nari as a suspect, former DPR member Miryam S. Haryani, and the president director of PT. Sandipala Arthaputra Paulus Tannos. Tannos remains at large to this day.

Additionally, two other people have been named suspects by KPK in the case of obstructing the investigation of Setya Novanto. They are Setya's former lawyer Friedrich Yunadi and a former doctor at Medika Permata Hijau Hospital, Bimanesh Sutardjo.
