REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) submitted the indictment and case file of defendant in Riau-1 coal-fired power plant (PLTU) construction project bribery case, businessman Johannes B Kotjo (JBK) to Central Jakarta District Court on Monday (Sept 24). Johannes is one of three suspects in the case.
“Next, we wait for the trial schedule at Jakarta Corruption Court for the first defendant in Riau-1 coal-fired power plant construction project bribery case,” KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah said when confirmed on Tuesday (Sept 25).
Febri said, based on information from the investigators, Johannes has proposed Justice Collaborator (JC) status to KPK following his determination as suspect. The anti-graft institution would observe Johannes' statement during the trial to assess his seriousness to be a JC.
"Because the important requirement to be JC is recognizing actions, opening the role of other parties as clearly as possible and showing cooperative attitude during his trial,” Febri explained.
