KPK Council Calls Lili Pintauli Not Proven To Accept Receipt From Tanjungbalai Mayor M Syahrial

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean confirmed that KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar had not received anything from the inactive Tanjungbalai Mayor M Syahrial to stop the corruption case being investigated.

This certainty was carried out after the examination of the witnesses in the trial which had been carried out some time ago.

"From the results of this examination, nothing was accepted or it was thwarting. Nothing," said Tumpak in a press conference broadcast on the Indonesian KPK Youtube, Monday, August 30.

According to him, although Syahrial contacted Lili, the case related to the sale and purchase of positions at the Tanjungbalai City Government was still ongoing.

"The investigation into the suspect Syahrial is still ongoing, there is no acceptance of anything related to connection. So nothing," said Tumpak.

Previously reported, the KPK Supervisory Board found Lili guilty and violated the code of ethics because she was in contact with the litigant, namely the inactive Tanjungbalai Mayor M Syahrial.

He was declared to have violated the code of ethics and code of conduct in the form of abusing the influence of the KPK leadership for personal interests and dealing directly with parties whose cases are being handled by the KPK as regulated in Article 4 Paragraph 2 Letter b and Dewas Regulation No. 2 of 2020.

"Try and declare the examinee Lili Pintauli Siregar guilty of violating the code of ethics and behavioral guidelines in the form of abuse of influence as a KPK leader for personal interests and dealing with parties whose cases are being handled," said Tumpak when reading the verdict.

Furthermore, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Board sentenced Lili to severe sanctions in the form of a year's salary deduction.

"Punishing the examinee with severe sanctions in the form of cutting his basic salary by 40 percent for 12 months," said Tumpak.

There are two things that incriminate Lili so that she was sentenced. He is said to have shown no remorse for his actions and did not set an example and role model as a KPK leader.

While the mitigating thing is that Lili admits her actions and has never been sentenced to ethical sanctions. The decision was taken in the Assembly Deliberation on Thursday, August 26, with Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean as chairman, Albertina Ho and Harjono as members of the assembly.
