The three men arrested by the KPK on Tuesday at 5 pm included PR (Pargono Riyadi) an auditor at the directorate general of Taxation in Jakarta and RT (Rukimin Tjahyanto) who was suspected to be a middleman.
The two were arrested at the Gambir Railway station, Central Jakarta, during the transfer of money from RT to PR worth Rp125 million out of a total commitment of 600 million.
Following the arrest of the two, the KPK arrested again a suspect AH (Asep Hendro) who is a private businessman and suspected to be a taxpayer and the owner of the Asep Hendro Racing Sport automotive business.
