Brigadier General Endar Priantoro reported two KPK officials on suspicion of abuse of authority following his dismissal as Director of Investigation (Dirlidik). Polda Metro Jaya said the report would be followed up.

"Regarding the report, further review will be conducted by Polda Metro Jaya and study the reported events and the connection between the reporter and the incident," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko in his statement, Wednesday, April 12.

Brigadier General Endar reported the Secretary General (Sekjen) of the KPK Cahya H Harefa and the Head of the KPK Bureau Zuraida Retno Pamungkas to Polda Metro Jaya. The report was registered with the number LP/B/1959/IV/2023/SPKT/Polda Metro Jaya dated April 11.

Brigadier General Endar, represented by his attorney, Rakhmat Mulyana, said that the alleged abuse was due to the dismissal of Brigadier General Endar Priantoro, which violated the rules.

Moreover, there was a letter from the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo extending his client's tenure at the KPK. The letter was issued before the end of Brigadier General Endar's term of service at the anti-Rasuah institution.

"The lower problem in the dismissal decree is that there is no reason why Mr. Endar was returned to the police," he said.

However, in the report there was no name of KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri. The reason behind it was because the letter of dismissal of Brigadier General Endar was signed by the Secretary General and Head of HR Bureau.

"Because in this case the decree signed the Secretary General and then the Head of Human Resources who submitted the letter," said Rakhmat.

However, it is possible that Firli Bahuri will also be reported. However, waiting for the progress of the handling from the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas).

"If it will definitely be clarified later, it can develop. For example, the firm order from the leadership can be so developed. But what is certain is that it is clear that the letter and signature are from the Secretary General and Karo HR, right," said Rakhmat.
