Aburizal came to the KPK building around 9:55 without talking much to the media. He only said that he was there regarding Setya's legal process.

Setya's nephew Irvanto Hendra Pambudi, who is also the former director of PT Murakabi Sejahtera, is also said to have received money from the e-KTP project. This was revealed by former director of PT Gunung Agung boss, Made Oka Masagung, when he testified in the trial of Andi Agustinus alias Andi Narogong for the same case.

Oka said the money came from the director of PT Quadra Solution, Anang Sugiana Sudihardjo.

"The money came from Anang in Singapore, then withdrawn, given to Muda Ikhsan, and then given to Irvanto," he said when testifying at the Corruption Court in Jakarta, Monday, November 13.

PT Murakabi Sejahtera is one of the bidders for the e-KTP procurement project. Murakabi's participation in the project tender in 2011 is alleged to be a collusion and part of a tender that had been engineered.
