Firli Claims To Be Bad Cough, Still Obedient To Respond To Calls For Investigation At The National Police Headquarters

JAKARTA - The head of the inactive Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Firli Bahuri, claims to still fulfill the summons for examination even though he is in an unhealthy condition.

This examination is the second time as a suspect in the alleged extortion case against the former Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

"Today I came back to the National Police Headquarters for additional information. Even though I was heavily coughed, I came," Firli said in his statement, Wednesday, December 6.

For that reason, Firli wore a mask when he was present at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. He argued to maintain common health.

"I use masks to maintain and screen health together," said Firli.

Firli Bahuri arrived around the Police Criminal Investigation Building at 09.15 WIB. He appeared to be accompanied by several people who were suspected of being his aides.

He did not make any statements. This is because Firli, who was wearing a dark blue shirt, immediately stepped in to undergo an examination.

During the previous examination, Firli Bahuri was asked 40 questions. Deputy Director of Corruption at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Kombes Arief Adiharsa said investigators were investigating the issue of meetings and assets.

Dozens of questions asked by investigators have been fully answered by Firli in about 10 hours. Where, the examination process starts from 09.00 WIB to 19.00 WIB.

Questions from the investigators were also said to include 7 examination materials. Starting from Firli Bahuri's meeting with Syahrul Yasin Limpo to assets and wealth.

Meanwhile, in the circulating photo, Firli is known to have met SYL at one of the Sports Centers (GOR) in the Mangga Besar area, West Jakarta.

"The questions that are put on the rights of the person concerned as a suspect, the events of meetings and receipts of gifts or promises, communication that uses digital evidence," he said.

"The exchange of foreign exchange transactions, positions as KPK leaders and their obligations and prohibitions, assets and LHKPN, as well as assets or assets that are still owned," said Arief.

In the alleged extortion case, Firli Bahuri, who has the status of a suspect, is charged with Article 12e, 12B or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the eradication of corruption in conjunction with Article 65 of the Criminal Code. Thus, it is threatened with life imprisonment.
