Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia`s anti-graft body KPK has named Neneng Sri Wahyuni, the wife of corruption suspect Muhammad Nazaruddin caught in Colombia on Monday, corruption suspect in a Solar Power (PLTS) project.

Head of information division of KPK (the Corruption Eradication Commission) Priharsa Nugraha said here on Sunday it was not known where Neneng was now.

But she has been named corruption suspect in connection with the PLTS project of the ministry of manpower and transmigration in 2008 and is facing a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail.

At a press conference on Saturday night KPK chief Busyro Muqoddas said Neneng was named suspect some time ago.

He did not tell the date when she was named suspect but said "she has (been named suspect). It was done some time ago."

KPK spokesman Johan Budi has said that Neneng has been named suspect like Mindo Rosalina Manulang, who has acted as a middleman in subcontracting of state-owned company projects which are generally connected with ministries` projects.

Neneng has allegedly become a middleman in sub-contracting the PLTS project won by PT Alfindo Nuratama Perkasa to PT Sundaya Indonesia. Johan said Neneng and Rosa worked for the same company namely PT Alfindo Nuratama.(*)
