House speaker slapped with travel ban
Jakarta Post - April 11, 2017
The Law and Human Rights Ministry's immigration directorate general confirmed on Tuesday the KPK had requested it to impose a travel ban on Setya.
"The Immigration Office received the travel ban request on Monday evening, [which led to the issuance of a travel ban], please ask the KPK investigators," said the office's spokesman, Agung Sampurno.
Setya said separately he had just received information about the travel ban and promised he would obey all the legal processes. "As a citizen who adheres to the law and hopes this matter can be solved soon, I'll be patient to do the best I can," Setya said.
Setya is currently under public spotlight for his alleged involvement in a graft scandal related to the e-ID procurement project.
Setya has been mentioned several times on the case's indictment documents. He allegedly received hundreds of billions from a project worth Rp 5.9 trillion (US$440 million) that had potential to cause more than Rp 2 trillion in state losses. The KPK has questioned him several times as a witness in the case. (ebf)
