"The police respects KPK`s investigation."Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Deputy national police chief Commissioner General Nanan Soekarna was questioned by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as a witness over alleged corruption in the traffic police`s simulator project here on Wednesday.
"The police respects KPK`s investigation," chief of crime investigation Commissioner General Sutarman said with regard to Nanan`s questioning.
Asked if the name Nanan Soekarna also emerged when the police were investigating the case, Sutarman said it had not gone that far.
