Polda Metro Jaya Ready To Face Pretrial Firli At The South Jakarta District Court

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya is ready to face the pretrial filed by Firli Bahuri at the South Jakarta District Court (PN). The former chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) sued his status as a suspect in the alleged extortion of former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

"In principle, the investigative team through the Jakarta Metro Police Bidkum Advocacy team is very ready to face the pre-trial lawsuit," said Director of Criminal Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak to reporters, Saturday, March 15.

Ade believes that this lawsuit will be rejected by the judge. This is because a series of investigative activities to find and collect evidence related to the extortion case against Syahrul which then ensnared Firli had already been carried out.

In addition, investigations are also carried out in a professional, transparent, accountable manner, and free from all interventions and pressures.

"Even in the handling of the a quo case, the determination of the FB as a suspect is based on more than two valid pieces of evidence," said the former Solo Police Chief.

Previously reported, Firli Bahuri, who is the former chairman of the KPK, again filed a pretrial lawsuit. This is the third time he has made these legal remedies after being named a suspect in extortion.

The first lawsuit was filed and then decided not accepted. Firli then submitted the second application on January 22, 2024. However, a few days later, January 30, 2024, the pretrial application was revoked.

"Yes, that's right, we are submitting a pretrial lawsuit," said Firli Bahuri's attorney, Ian Iskandar, to VOI, Friday, March 14.

Firli Bahuri's lawsuit is known to be registered with number 42/Pid.Pra/2025/PN JKT.SEL. The defendant in the lawsuit is the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo cq Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto.

Ian emphasized that the steps were again to file a pretrial lawsuit for the third time because it was to fight for justice. Because his status as a suspect is not clear.

"This pretrial legal effort is part of Pak Firli's efforts to fight for his justice related to his suspect status for more than 1 year and 4 months," he said.
