KPK investigates discrepancies in Forestry Minister bribe money return
The antigraft body also suspected Kuantan Singingi officials for bribing their Forestry Ministry counterparts S$12,500 pertaining to forest area conversion in the regency.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating discrepancies regarding Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni's return of alleged bribe money from a Riau regent. Prosecutors suspect Kuantan Singingi officials for bribing their Forestry Ministry counterparts. According to the commission, Raja Juli reportedly met with the regent, Suhardiman Amby, on June 2, receiving an envelope containing S$14,000 (US$10,919).
The minister later claimed he had returned the envelope on June 12, stating he had no right to accept it. However, the commission suspects the minister for not fully returning the kickbacks allegedly given by Suhardiman.
