The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) sent representatives to attend or witness the search process carried out by the police at Firli Bahuri's house in Jakan Kertanagera number 46, South Jakarta. According to VOI monitoring, four representatives of the KPK came to Firli Bahuri's house at 12.47 WIB. Two of them wore brown and green batik. While others were seen wearing box motif shirts. However, two KPK members who wore shirts were not long inside the ash-twisted house. It was only a matter of minutes for them to come out again. There was no statement regarding the intent and purpose conveyed by the representative from the KPK. Meanwhile, dozens of members from the Corruption Sub-Directorate of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Police began to search Firli Bahuri's house. They entered at around 11.57 WIB. Of the dozens of officers, two of them were carrying metallic silver suitcases and black printers. The two objects were brought into the house with gray ash. However, the investigators are currently not aware of the purpose of carrying the suitcase and printer. In handling the alleged extortion case carried out by the KPK leadership against former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo, Polda Metro Jaya has also examined a number of witnesses related to the case. As of Tuesday, October 24, Polda Metro Jaya has examined 54 witnesses in this case, including personal driver SYL, personal aide to SYL, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK for the 2007-2011 period Mochammad Jasin. Then, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK for the 2015-2019 period Saut Situmorang, Director of Public Complaints and Complaints (Dumas) of the KPK Tomi Murtomo, Aide de Camp (ADC) or aide to the Chairman of the KPK Kevin Egananta, and Semarang Police Chief Kombes Irwan Anwar who is also SYL's nephew's husband. Firli himself has undergone an examination at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Tuesday, October 24. The chairman of the KPK was examined for about 7 hours. Dirreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak did not specify the amount and material of the questions in the examination of Firli Bahuri. It was only conveyed that Firli Bahuri was still a witness. "There are several questions that we ask him regarding the criminal acts that we are currently investigating," said Ade. In fact, it is possible that Firli will be questioned again. "What if more additional information is needed, we will schedule a summons to the FB witness to be questioned again in his capacity as a witness," he said. The opening is likely that Firli will be questioned again because a joint investigative team from the Directorate of Corruption Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency and the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police will hold consolidation.

The goal is to determine the next steps in handling the alleged extortion case, including the lack of information that is difficult to provide Firli Bahuri. "It will be a consolidation material in joint investigators this evening to determine whether the testimony of FB witnesses is sufficient or other additional information is needed," said Ade.
