He said after giving a lecture on improving the capacity of law enforcers in handling corruption cases the KPK chief said he knew about it from a report from a KPK deputy.
"He will be questioned soon," he added.
He said the questioning was needed to enrich KPK's investigation of the case of the former president of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Luthfi Hasan Ishaaq.
