TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is looking into a graft case bigger than the e-KTP case that supposedly has cost the state Rp2.3 trillion, said KPK Deputy Chairman Laode M Syarif on Thursday, March 8.
“There is also a (case) like the e-KTP case, which is being investigated. The case is as big as or even bigger (from the e-KTP case),” Laode said. KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah, however, had declined to comment on the case in detail. He only said the case's modus operandi was as much sophisticated as the e-KTP case.
Febri explained the case was trans-national and invoved transactions by multiple parties using unusual codes, which was similar to the e-KTP case.

“The modus operandi is transnational, merging banking system with conventional system and it was made using a camouflage or codes that cannot be read normally,” Febri told reporters at Merah Putih Building, South Jakarta, on Friday, March 9.
Febri said trans-national means the perpetrator committed corruption abroad and the money was saved in another country, or the perpetrator was in Indonesia but the money was taken abroad.
