KPK questions APL boss for second time

JAKARTA. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned Sugianto Kusuma, alias Aguan, chairman of the PT Agung Sedayu Group (APL), on Tuesday about graft suspect Mohamad Sanusi, a city councillor.

“It is a follow-up questioning session about Mohamad Sanusi,” said KPK spokesman Priharsa Nugraha in his office on Tuesday as reported by kompas.com.

Sanusi was arrested on March 31 after he allegedly received a bribe from APL in connection to the deliberation of two bills on reclamation. The KPK has also named APL CEO Ariesman Widjaja and Trinanda Prihantoro, a company employee, suspects in the same case.

The immigration office, at the request of the KPK, has slapped a travel ban on Aguan and Sunny Tanuwidjaja, a staffer for Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama. The KPK earlier questioned Aguan and Sunny on April 13.

APL received a permit to reclaim a part of Jakarta Bay. The government temporary halted the process of reclamation on Monday in response to the controversy.
