JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata claimed to have invited former leaders who reported KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to the Supervisory Board. This moment occurred when Abraham Samad, Bambang Widjojanto, and Saut Situmorang performed in front of the KPK's Red and White Building on Monday, April 10. "I told anyone to go up to the 15th floor," Alexander told reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, April 11. This invitation was conveyed to the former leader because Alexander wanted to explain the internal conditions. According to him, he wants to open a discussion room. "Try to come here, I said that. Later I can explain why all of you are being questioned," he said. Furthermore, Alexander ensured that this discussion room was opened not because the former head of the anti-corruption commission was prohibited from reporting allegations of leaking investigation documents by Firli Bahuri. According to him, this report cannot be prevented. "It's all things from the community, we also can't prevent 'oh, don't report it'. They reported it to me, just report it," said Alexander with a laugh. "The point is we don't (forbid, ed). Please report it if you want to report it," he continued. Previously, the alleged leak of this investigation document was widely circulated in public after the KPK searched the office of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources on March 27. Based on information circulating, the leaked file contained the names of the suspects and the alleged articles. Furthermore, the former KPK leader together with the Civil Society Coalition reported the alleged leaking of documents to the KPK Council. It is suspected that Firli Bahuri played a role in the incident. In addition, they also plan to report Firli to the police in the near future. This report will be made because the former Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK is considered to have committed a criminal act for leaking classified documents.

"In addition to reporting Firli's brother to the Supervisory Board, we will also report him to law enforcement officials (other than, ed)," said Former KPK leader Abraham Samad while at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, April 10.
