REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Attorney General's Office has named three more suspects in a Rp1.5 trillion graft case related to the procurement of articulated buses and single buses for the Transjakarta busway network.
"Investigators have named three new suspects in the Transjakarta case," spokesman for the Attorney General's Office Tony T Spontana said here on Friday.
The three new suspects, all of them private company executives, are identified by their initials as BS, president director of PT New Armada/PT Mobilindo Armada Cemerlang, AS, president director of PT Ifani Dewi, and CCK, president director of PT Korindo Motors.
The new suspects brings to seven the number of people suspected of involvement in the graft case.
Earlier, the Attorney General's Office named four suspects in the case. They are UP, former chief of the Jakarta provincial transportation office, and P, director of the Transportation Technology and System Center at the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT).
The two others are DA, an employee of the Jakarta provincial transportation office in the capacity as commitment-making official, and ST, an employee of the Jakarta provincial transportation office in the capacity as chief of the committee for the procurement of goods and services for construction work at the transportation office.
The three president directors of private companies were named suspects after the investigators questioned 60 witnesses including expert witnesses and four other suspects.
He did not rule out the possibility that the number of suspects would increase, depending on the results of investigation into the suspects.
The Attorney General's Office has not detained UP who has been named a suspect since May 2014.
