The budget documents belong to contractor Waskita Karya, which the police investigate over allegations of corruption during the underpass’ construction.
The police are also waiting for the examination results by a team of construction experts from the National Construction Development Agency (LPJK).
The investigation started after a 20-meter wall that retained a tunnel at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport’s underpass collapsed.
On Monday evening, February 5, heavy rains caused a landslide that made a 20-meter wall that retained the tunnel to collapse, burying two victims for hours, one of whom died from the injuries.
