The Question of Discretionary Powers

Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators showed Agung Podomoro Land CEO Ariesman Widjaja a one-page summary of the financial records of 13 projects run by Muara Wisesa Samudra, an Agung Podomoro Land subsidiary, on May 2. The records showed work expenditures listed as additional contributions for Jakarta Bay land reclamation projects. The subsidiary holds a land reclamation license for Island G, which measures 161 hectares and is better known as Pluit City.

With lawyer Adardam Achyar on his side, Ariesman answered the questions after the KPK had named him a suspect in a bribery case involving a Jakarta provincial regulation draft on land reclamation. An investigator interrogated Ariesman for eight hours at the KPK Building in Kuningan, South Jakarta.
