KPK SEARCHES ROOMS IN DPR COMPLEX OVER ROYAN'S BRIBERY CASE
Jakarta, July 10 (ANTARA) - A team of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators on Thursday conducted a search in two locations in the House of Representatives (DPR) complex in south Jakarta in connection with the suspected involvement of legislator Bulyan Royan in a bribery case.
In their effort to collect more evidence against Royan, the KPK search team targeted the quarters of the secretariat of the House's Commission V of which he was a member, and the legislator's private office.
Royan, a representative of the Star Reform Party (PBR), was arrested last June 30 after he had collected an amount of money from a businessman who had won a tender for the supply of patrol boats for the Transportation Ministry.
Ten KPK agents carried out the search in the House Commission V's secretariat in the Nusantara II building in the House compound , and five others in Royan's private offfice on the 22nd floor of the Nusantara I building.
The anti-graft agency took a similar action a few months earlier in the case of lawmaker Al Amin Nasution, a member of the House's Commission IV representing the United Develpment Party (PPP) who was accused of taking a bribe over the clearing of a protected forest area in Riau Islands province for a local government building project.
Three other House members are currently also in KPK custody as suspects in corruption or bribery cases. They are Saleh Djasit and Hamka Yandhu of the Golkar Party and Sarjan Taher of the Democrat Party.
