Jakarta, June 5 -- Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has launched an investigation into alleged corruption involving notification services provided through SMS and WhatsApp at state-owned lender Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) and telecommunications firm Telkom Indonesia.

"The case concerns notifications delivered via SMS and WhatsApp," KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said on Friday.

He was responding to questions regarding the issuance of general investigation warrants, which have been opened without naming suspects, involving projects at BRI and Telkom.

Prasetyo had previously disclosed only that the anti-graft agency was investigating procurement related to notification services at the two state-owned companies.
