JAKARTA - The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) officially reported KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to the Supervisory Board today, Wednesday, August 2. The report was in the aftermath of a hand arrest operation (OTT) at the National SAR Agency (Basarnas) which ensnared the Head of Basarnas Marshal Henri Alfiandi. "Pak Alexander Marwata has committed acts outside the procedure related to the determination of the suspect Marsdya HA," said MAKI attorney Kurniawan Adi Nugroho to reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Wednesday, August 2. Kurniawan alluded to the announcement of the determination of Henri and his subordinates, Koorsmin Kabasarnas Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto as suspects. MAKI considers this process a violation because the investigation warrant (sprindik) was not issued by the KPK but by the TNI POM. "It can't be done without that sprindik. Because it violates human rights, ” he said. Next, this report was submitted because the KPK did not coordinate with the TNI. The connectivity should have been carried out before the arrest was carried out. "That's the main point we report to the Council against Mr. Alexander Marwata," said Kurniawan. Previously, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata explained that the application of the bribery article made the Head of the National SAR Agency (Kabasarnas) Marshal Henri Alfiandi and Koorsmin Kabasarnas Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto still announced as suspects on Thursday, July 25. In fact, at that time no investigation warrant (sprindik) was issued. “ Because in principle bribery is a giver and recipient. So we say we set five people, ” Alexander said in a press conference at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, July 31. Of these five people, the KPK only issued sprindiks on three private parties as givers. They are the President Commissioner of PT Multi Grafika Cipta Sejati Mulsunadi Gunawan, President Director of PT Intertekno Grafika Sejati Marilya, President Director of PT Khajol Abadi Utama Roni Aidil.

Meanwhile Henri and Afri are published by POM TNI. “ If when the perpetrators of the crime are still active, the handling will be carried out by the TNI Puspom,” he said.
