Director General of Forestry Social Affairs Skips KPK Summons in Bribery Case

Catur Endah Prasetiani, the Director General of Forestry Social Affairs at the Ministry of Forestry, did not appear for a scheduled summons by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Prasetiani was expected to provide testimony as a witness in an ongoing bribery investigation.

The case involves the Regent of Kuantan Singingi, and Prasetiani's testimony was considered crucial for the KPK's efforts to uncover the full extent of the alleged corruption. Her failure to attend the questioning session has stalled the investigation and raised concerns about transparency.

The KPK has not yet issued a statement regarding Prasetiani's absence or its next steps. However, her non-appearance is a significant development in the investigation, potentially indicating a lack of cooperation or further complications in the case. The commission is expected to pursue further action to secure her testimony.
