Polda Metro Sindir Kubu Firli Bahuri Regarding Investigation: Hopefully Responding To Irregularity
The Jakarta Metro Police's Legal Advocacy Team (Bidkum) seemed to insinuate Firli Bahuri's camp regarding the investigation process which was one of the reasons behind the pretrial lawsuit against the suspect in the alleged extortion case against former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo.The satire began when a member of the Polda Metro Jaya Bidkum asked witness Denny Siregar, who is an investigator for Sub-Directorate III of the Dittipidkor Bareskrim Polri, to explain the stages of the investigation into the case."My question is that my heart is upset, so that the concerns of the petitioner are answered, so that the suspicions of the petitioner's heart are answered, my question is whether after the witness joins the team, you see is there an investigation?" asked members of the Jakarta Metro Police Bidkum during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Friday, December 15.Witness Denny answered by stating that the investigation process in the extortion case against SYL had been carried out. In fact, it is said, investigators carried out a filtration process in the form of collecting evidence and a number of witness statements related to the case."It turns out that before the investigation, a series of collections and conditions were carried out to see whether or not there were indications of a criminal act of corruption as a form of prudence, as a form of thoroughness of fellow investigators at Polda Metro Jaya," said Denny.Hearing this testimony, the member of the Regional Police's Bidkum again satirized Firli's camp with several satirical sentences. It is said, if Denny's statement can answer Firli Bahuri's confusion."Good thank you, witness to the facts, hopefully it can answer the doubt, confusion, deliberation of the heart rather than the applicant," he said.It is known, in the pretrial lawsuit, Firli Bahuri asked the panel of judges, Imelda Herawati, to order the Metro Jaya Police Chief, Inspector General Karyoto, to issue a Letter of Order to Terminate Investigation (SP3) in the alleged corruption case that named him a suspect.The reason behind the request was because it was considered that the investigation warrant issued by Karyoto was invalid. This is because the letter was issued on the same day as the issuance of a police report (LP) on October 9.
Moreover, this is not in accordance with the provisions of the investigation and investigation process which has been explicitly and clearly regulated in Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), especially in Article 1 number 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code in conjunction with Article 1 number 5 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
