Headline: KPK Probes Ronny Sompie over Suspected Involvement in Harun Masiku Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has begun investigating former Director General of Immigration, Ronny Sompie, regarding his suspected involvement in the Harun Masiku case, a notorious cybercrime case that has been making waves in Indonesia. Sompie was summoned by the KPK for questioning after allegations surfaced that he was involved in leaking confidential information about the case to the public.
Sompie, who was relieved of his duty earlier this year, was seen entering the KPK’s headquarters in Jakarta, accompanied by his legal team. The KPK has not released any official statement regarding the investigation, but sources close to the matter confirm that Sompie is being investigated for violating the state secret law and abuse of power.
In an exclusive interview with DetikNews, Sompie revealed that the KPK had asked him to help prevent further leaks about the case for four hours after he was named a suspect. He also stated that he had not been informed of the details of the investigation and that he would fully cooperate with the KPK.
Meanwhile, KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah confirmed that the commission was investigating three people in relation to the Harun Masiku case, including Sompie. He also stated that the KPK was aware of the public’s interest in the case and was working diligently to uncover the truth.
The Harun Masiku case, which involves the theft of millions of dollars from digital financial platforms, has become one of the highest-profile cybercrime cases in Indonesia. The investigation into Sompie’s alleged involvement comes as the authorities step up their efforts to tackle cybercrime in the country.
