Mangkir Pemeriksaan Jadi Alasan KPK Penangkap Eks Ketua DPD Gerindra Malut Selasa Malam

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra Party DPD Muhaimin Syarif on Tuesday night, June 16.

He was considered uncooperative even though he was a suspect in the development of the corruption case of the inactive North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba.

"He has been summoned properly but was not present," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters when confirmed, Wednesday, July 17.

Ghufron said Muhaimin was arrested in an area outside Jakarta. The arrests took place at around 18.45 WIB.

"KPK arrested Muhaimin Syarif alias UCU in the Banten area," he said.

Meanwhile, Muhaimin arrived at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at around 20.35 WIB. Abdul Gani Kasuba's confidant was accompanied by a number of officers and did not provide any information because he immediately went up to the investigation room.

As previously reported, Muhaimin Syarif was summoned as a suspect on Friday, June 21. However, he did not fulfill the investigator's summons on the grounds that he was filing a pretrial lawsuit.

At that time, the KPK claimed to respect the process. However, this reason is considered unnatural so that a recall will be made.

In this case, the anti-corruption commission has asked the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to prevent the former chairman of the North Maluku Gerindra DPD Muhaimin Syarif from leaving the country. This prevention is carried out for six months and can be extended according to the needs of investigators.
