Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will invite Polda Metro Jaya to coordinate the handling of the extortion case involving Firli Bahuri’s name. The coordination meeting will be held at the KPK Building, Kuningan, South Jakarta on Friday (10/11/2023).
“It is true that the KPK invited Polda Metro Jaya and Polri Headquarters to coordinate regarding the handling of the extortion case that is being handled,” said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri, Thursday (9/11/2023).
Ali said that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) invited investigators from the Regional Police and National Police Headquarters to the Corruption Eradication Commission tomorrow at 09.00 WIB, Friday (10/11/2023). He said this coordination was a stage that needed to be carried out before the anti-corruption commission decided whether to carry out supervision or not.
“This coordination stage is what determines whether a case needs supervision or not,” he said.
Ali explained that this coordination was the initial stage for the KPK to listen to explanations from the police regarding the case they were handling. From this coordination, said Ali, the Corruption Eradication Committee will review it to determine whether supervision is necessary.
“The explanation certainly does not get to the point of the case, because it is still in the coordination stage and not yet supervision,” he said.
Previously, Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto sent a letter requesting supervision to the Corruption Eradication Committee since Wednesday (11/10/2023). The request for supervision is related to the investigation into the alleged extortion case against former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo. The reported person in this case is the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Committee, Firli Bahuri.
In that case, Firli was reported by someone to the Regional Police on charges of asking for a certain amount of money with the promise that he could take care of handling the corruption case involving Syahrul’s name which was being handled by the KPK. Firli has denied extorting or receiving money from the Nasdem Party politician.
Polda Metro Jaya has examined Firli as a witness on Tuesday (24/10/2023). Police investigators have also searched two houses suspected of belonging to Firli in the Kartanegara area and Villa Galaxy Bekasi.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled another examination of Filri for the second time on Tuesday (7/11/2023). However, Firli did not answer the call and chose to attend the anti-corruption bus roadshow in Aceh.
