The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Ensures That The Facts Of The 'Medan Block' Session That Dragged Bobby Nasution Will Be Discussed

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensures that every trial fact will be a concern. The 'Blok Medan' was no exception when the former Governor of North Maluku was tried at the Corruption Court at the Ternate District Court (PN).

The term 'Blok Medan' which is suspected to be related to mining in North Maluku dragged the name of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) son-in-law, Bobby Nasution.

"Of course all the facts of the trial that have the potential to become a new case will be the attention of the KPK leadership," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters, Thursday, October 31.

However, Tessa said, the follow-up will not be taken rashly. "This will be discussed and seen how far the involvement of the people conveyed is juxtaposed with what evidence is," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

This process will then be continued by conducting a case title or exposure. Usually, the leadership will hold a meeting with the ranks of the deputy for prosecution.

"If the evidence and involvement are clear, the investigation can be raised either in an investigation or a new investigation," he explained.

As previously reported, the Head of the North Maluku ESDM Office, Suryanto Andili, revealed the term 'Medan Block' in the trial of the defendant Abdul Gani Kasuba. This name is often used in the Mining Business Permit (IUP) process in North Maluku.

At that time, Suryanto explained that the Medan Block referred to the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution after being asked by the prosecutor. Meanwhile, on different occasions, Abdul Gani actually said that the term refers to Kahiyang as Jokowi's son who is also the wife of Bobby.
