Deactivated Walkot Tanjungbalai Bribery Ex-KPK Investigator Will Soon Be Tried In Medan

MEDAN - The Corruption Court at the Medan District Court (PN) received the case file for the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.

Syahrial is a suspect in the alleged bribery case of accepting gifts or promises by state officials related to the handling of the Tanjungbalai Mayor case in 2020-2021.

"The Medan Corruption Court has received the case file of the former Tanjungbalai Mayor from the KPK investigators on Wednesday, June 30, 2021," said Medan District Court Public Relations official Immanuel Tarigan, Thursday, July 1.

According to Immanuel, the trial number No.46/Pid.Sud-TPK/2021/PN.Mdn will be led by a panel of judges chaired by As'ad Rahim Lubis.

"The date for the inaugural trial has not been determined, but the panel of judges in this case is chaired by Mr. As'ad Rahim with Sulhanudin SH MH and Husni Tamrin SH each member judge," he said.

Previously, Syahrial was named a suspect by the KPK for the alleged bribery case against KPK investigator Stefanus Robin Pattuju. Stefanus was later dismissed from the KPK.

In this case, the KPK has named three suspects, namely Stepanus Robin Pattuju, a lawyer named Maskur Husein, and the Mayor of Tanjung Balai M Syahrial.

Stepanus is suspected of asking for Rp 1.5 billion from the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.

The money was given so that the case experienced by M Syahrial related to the bribery investigation investigated by the KPK at the Tanjungbalai City Government, North Sumatra was stopped.
