Polda Metro Reschedules Examination Of KPK Employees Next Week

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) employee did not fulfill the summons for an investigation into the alleged extortion case carried out by the head of the anti-corruption agency against former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL, Thursday, October 12, yesterday. Thus, Polda Metro Jaya rescheduled it, Monday, October 16.

"A summons has been made and sent back to the person concerned for the examination schedule on Monday at 10.00 WIB," said Director of Special Criminal Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak, Friday, October 13.

The absence of the KPK employee was due to work constraints. This is because there are official activities that have been scheduled previously and cannot be abandoned.

"Through a letter brought by an employee of the KPK's legal bureau, he asked for a postponement of the examination on the grounds that he participated in the previously scheduled service activities," he said.

On the other hand, Ade said that in the series of investigation processes, 12 witnesses had been examined. Two of them are SYL and the Semarang Police Chief Kombes Irwan Anwar.

"A total of 12 witnesses have been examined at the investigation stage," said Ade.

Then, in the investigation process, Polda Metro also explored the circulation of photos showing KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri, meeting with SYL.

The photos and meetings will be investigated as a result of recommendations from the case title process which was carried out on Friday, October 6, yesterday.

The investigation was carried out on the basis of alleged violation of Article 65 in conjunction with Article 36 of the KPK Law. Where, investigators are prohibited from dealing with parties who are litigating.

"There is a prohibition on direct or indirect contact with the suspect or other parties related to the handling of corruption crimes committed by the KPK for any reason," said Ade.

Meanwhile, in the circulating photo, Firli and Syahrul allegedly met at the badminton sports arena (gor). It is not clear when the meeting was.

Firli, still in the same photo, is seen wearing a dark sports shirt with white accents and black shorts and sports shoes. Meanwhile, Syahrul was seen wearing a shirt and jeans.

They sat on the bench and seemed to be talking. Syahrul looked back at the camera.
