2 Times Examination As A Suspect, Firli Bahuri Tak Kunjung Ditahan

JAKARTA - The chairman of the inactive Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Firli Bahiri, has never been detained in the alleged extortion case against the former Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo. Although, he has been questioned twice as a suspect.

Firli is still allowed to go home so far. Including, when he finished undergoing the examination today which lasted approximately 10 hours, starting from 10.00 WIB to 20.00 WIB.

After the examination, the retired National Police showed a different attitude than before. Firli refused to appear to the public and chose to avoid the media crew.

The inactive chairman of the KPK left the Bareskrim Polri building not through the route in general. He uses General Secretariat (Setum) access.

In fact, during the previous examination process, Firli dared to appear and conveyed several things in front of the media crew.

Firli Bahuri's attitude that does not want to appear to the public is not the first time this has happened. Before being named a suspect, the inactive KPK chairman was always a cat and mouse with the media crew.
