House Secretary-General Indra Iskandar Named Corruption Suspect
Jakarta. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced on Friday that Indra Iskandar, Secretary-General of the House of Representatives, has been named a suspect in a year-long corruption investigation related to a housing project for lawmakers.
KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto said seven people have been implicated in the scandal, though none have been detained so far.
"All suspects have yet to be detained pending the State Development Finance Controller (BPKP)'s assessment of state losses," Setyo said.
He confirmed that Indra Iskandar is among the suspects in the case.
Indra was previously interrogated as a witness by the KPK last year as part of an investigation into alleged fraudulent procurement in the project, which involved furnishing residential units for sitting House members through selected vendors.
The housing project was financed by the state budget at a cost of approximately Rp 120 billion ($7.3 million).
