Sutan could face charges: KPK

JAKARTA.  The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said on Sunday that Democratic Party lawmakers Sutan Bhatoegana and Tri Yulianto could soon be charged in connection with a bribery case in the oil and gas sector.

“It depends on our investigation. If we can find evidence then we can name them as suspects in the case,” KPK spokesman Johan Budi said as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Late last week, the KPK slapped the two lawmakers with a travel ban.

Sutan and Tri sit on House of Representatives Commission VII overseeing energy and natural mineral resources. 

They had previously been questioned by KPK investigators over the alleged bribery of former Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry secretary-general Waryono Karno.
