JAKARTA - Chairman of the Judicial Commission (KY) Amzulian Rifai asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate allegations of mafia in cases of delaying debt payment obligations (PKPU).

Amzulian conveyed this when giving a speech at the signing of the KY memorandum of understanding with the KPK at the KY building auditorium, Jakarta, Thursday, August 24.

"I am notEACHing about the issues that occurred in the judiciary, but I remind you lastly, about PKPU. How are the current cases, Mr. Johanis (Vice Chairman of the KPK), on behalf of the PKPU, it turns out that there is a mafia there," said the Chairman of KY as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, August 24.

Amzulian admitted that he received reports related to irregularities in the PKPU case process, even when he was still the chairman of the Ombudsman.

"Both as chairman of the Ombudsman first, and now (as chairman of KY), several people met me, telling me about the tangledness of the PKPU mafia," he added.

Amzulian said that his party could not move further in terms of revealing a case, so he asked the KPK to investigate it by starting to investigate the parties who proposed PKPU.

"How about it there, please investigate the KPK, there are many strange decisions. Maybe if the KPK wants to explore it, starting from who proposed PKPU," said Amzulian.

According to him, the alleged PKPU mafia could become a new field for the KPK to be revealed. He also said his institution was ready to work together.

"For example, here, an example: he has a debt of only Rp. 1 billion, but he lost hundreds of billions of assets, citing PKPU," Amzulian explained.

Responding to this, KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri, who was also present on the agenda, said that the KPK was ready to follow up on KY's findings.

"The information conveyed by the KY chairman is related to allegations that it may lead to criminal acts of corruption at PKPU, this is very good information for us, of course we will follow up on what information is," said Firli.

According to him, what the Chairman of KY said was valuable information. He also asked the mass media to oversee information related to the alleged PKPU mafia.

"This information is valuable information for us in cleaning up about providing legal certainty, providing justice, and also benefit for all of us," added Firli.

Firli also reminded that the state's goals can be achieved by cleaning the country from corrupt practices.
