The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) of Indonesia is moving forward with its investigation into Anwar Sadad, a suspect implicated in a corruption case concerning grant funds. These funds were allocated from the East Java provincial budget for the years 2021 and 2022.

On Tuesday, the KPK examined six witnesses as part of efforts to complete the case file for Sadad. He is a member of the Gerindra Party and previously served as the Deputy Speaker of the East Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD). Currently, he is a member of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) in Commission XIII.

"All witnesses were present. The witness examinations are related to suspect AS, where the witnesses were questioned about the management of funds and the implementation of Pokmas activities," stated KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a written statement. The witnesses were questioned at the Probolinggo City Police.

The individuals questioned included representatives from various foundations and community groups, such as Yayasan Bunga Tanjung, Yayasan Darul Ulum Paiton, and Pokmas Nyiur Jaya. The KPK has identified a total of 21 suspects in this case, which involves alleged corruption in the administration of grant funds for community groups (Pokmas).

Four individuals are suspected of receiving bribes: former East Java DPRD Speaker Kusnadi, Deputy Speakers of the East Java DPRD Anwar Sadad and Achmad Iskandar, and Sadad's staff member Bagus Wahyudiono. They face charges under the Corruption Eradication Law and the Criminal Code. The remaining 17 suspects are alleged bribe-givers, including current and former members of the DPRD from various regencies and private individuals.
