KPK Summons Head Of Jakarta High Prosecution Office For Questioning

Jakarta, July 1 (Antara) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned Head of the Jakarta High Prosecution Office Didiek Darmanto for questioning in the case of tax fraud involving a steel company PT The Master Steel. "He is investigated in the case with Mohammad Dian Irwan as the suspect," KPK`s head of the report and information department, Priharsa Nugraha, said here on Monday. Didiek refused to answer question by reporters upon arrival at the KPK office Monday morning. KPK already named five suspects in the case including the director of PT The Master Steel Diah Soembedi, managers of PT The Master Steel Teddy Mulyawan and Effendy Komala and two officials of the East Jakarta taxation directorate Eko Darmayanto and Mohammad Dian Irwan. The case came to surface after the arrest of Eko Darmayanto and Mohammad Dian Irwan, who was charged with receiving S$300,000 or around Rp2.34 billion from Teddy Mulyawan and Effendy Komala in mid May at the Soekarno Hatta airport. KPK confiscated S$125,000 from Eko and S$130,000, US$75,000 and Rp700 million from Eko. Diah was arrested later when he came to KPK to report that his company was victim of extortion by the tax officials. After being grilled by KPK, Eko said he was ready to become "justice collaborator" and would unveil another tax fraud case involving PT Genta Dunia Jaya Raya, which he said had link with Taxation Director General Fuad Rahmany. Fuad, however, denied the allegation saying he knew nothing about tax case involving PT Genta.
