KPK Concerning Allegations There Are Other Ranks Behind Rossa Purbo: The Strongest One Is God

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has denied allegations that there were other parties who made investigators, Rossa Purbo Bekti, dare to investigate the Harun Masiku case.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika when asked about the party behind Rossa who is a civil servant employed (PNYD) from the National Police. According to him, his colleague was only led by God.

"I think the strongest ranking in question is God, yes. There is no other backing that I know besides that," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, July 12.

Tessa did not want to talk further about the backing. He only made sure investigators in the Harun Masiku case had worked according to the rules.

"I think our investigators are professional and friends can see, even though this (there is, red) an official effort (to make a report, ed) through an official channel, if the question is disturbing or not, yes, disturbing. But, we remain professional," he said.

"Besides Rossa, there are also several other investigators who are also involved in the case to continue to look for the whereabouts of the HM suspect and resolve the case themselves," continued the spokesman with the investigator's background.

Rossa Purbo Bekti has recently been reported by the party bearing the bull symbol. The current staff of the PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto, Kusnadi, complained to the anti-corruption commission investigator to the National Police Propam which was later accepted and registered with the number: SPSP2/003111/VII/2024/BAGYANDUAN dated July 11, 2024.

In addition, Rossa has also been reported several times to the KPK Supervisory Board. Most recently, the report was made because he was suspected of intimidating Donny Istiqomah, who was a PDIP cadre during a search on July 3.

"In the ongoing investigation during the four-hour search, it is unfortunate how Rossa's brother intimidated Donny's brother," said PDIP Legal Team Johannes Tobing to reporters at the KPK Supervisory Board Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, July 9.

"Well, the intimidation, the examination was carried out in front of his children and wife (Donny, ed). You can imagine all of my friends are six years old, the other is still a nine-month-old baby," he continued.

Not only that, during the search it was also claimed that there was a threat. "So this is what makes from a human point of view what traumatized his children, Donny's brother," said Johannes.
