JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Johanis Tanak denied meeting with detainees of alleged bribery in case management at the Supreme Court (MA). He emphasized that he had never interacted with litigants.

This was conveyed by Johanis after news of him being reported to the KPK Supervisory Board. It is suspected that this meeting took place on the 15th floor of the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"I have no interest in him (resilient, red), let alone to interact," Johanis said when confirmed by reporters, Thursday, September 14.

Johanis also ensured that the meeting never took place on Friday, July 28 or after the KPK held a meeting with the TNI to discuss the determination of the suspect Kabasarnas Marshal Henri Alfiandi. Because, after that activity he immediately carried out other activities outside the office.

"After the meeting with the TNI and after the doorstop, I immediately went to practice shooting," he said.

Meanwhile, member of the KPK Council, Albertina Ho, did not explicitly mention the reports submitted regarding Johanis.

"You already know anyway. How come you asked me. This journalist knows better than me," he said when asked about Johanis who allegedly met the detainee, Thursday, September 14.

Previously, it was reported that a prisoner in the bribery case for case management at the Supreme Court (MA) went up to the 15th floor of the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. This location is where the KPK leadership is based.

Meanwhile, the Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri, did not deny or confirm. He only explained that the suspect's examination is usually on the 2nd floor.

"The detention sites were on the 2nd floor. That's what we know," said Ali to reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
