Firli Leads The OTT Conjecture Of The Acting Regent Of Sorong At The KPK Building Even Though He Is Called For An Examination By The Metro Police

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri led a press conference on a hand arrest operation (OTT) that ensnared Acting Regent Sorong Yan Piet Mosso today, Tuesday, November 14. In fact, he was supposed to undergo an examination at the Metro Jaya Police regarding the alleged extortion of former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

From VOI's observation, Firli entered the press conference room at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at around 10.35 WIB. He appeared to be wearing a blue suit with a white shirt.

Firli had smiled at the media crew and accompanied the Head of the Public Relations Bureau of the KPK Yuyuk Andriati, the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Rudi Setiawan, and the Main Inspector of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) I Nyoman Wara. Until now, the press conference is still ongoing.

Previously reported, Firli was again summoned by the Polda Metro Jaya because he was absent on November 7 yesterday. He chose to go to Aceh to carry out the activities of the anti-corruption commission and a series of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia).

"(The examination, ed) is scheduled for an additional examination or request for information on Tuesday, November 14, 2023," said Director of Special Criminal Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak to reporters, Monday, October 13.

Even so, Firli's attorney, Ian Iskandar, said that his client could not attend because he had to come to the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas). He claims that a letter requesting a postponement of the examination has been submitted to investigators from Polda Metro Jaya.

Meanwhile, the KPK Supervisory Board confirmed that it would not examine Firli. The reason is, he should have been summoned on Monday, November 13 yesterday.

In fact, the KPK Council called him back next week. "It has been sent (the latest invitation, ed) on Monday, November 20 at 10:00," said KPK Supervisory Board member Albertina Ho when confirmed by reporters, Tuesday, November 14.
