As previously reported, Azis Syamsuddin has sent a letter to the DPP and the General Chair of the Golkar Party to resign from his position as Deputy Speaker of the DPR. But unfortunately, it is not explained when the letter was received. For your information, Azis is the sole suspect in the case. He has also been targeted since August 2020. This case began when Azis tried to contact the former KPK investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju, to close the case that ensnared Golkar Party politician Aliza Gunado and himself at the KPK. Robin asked Azis for money to help him close the case at the KPK. To launch the action, Robin was also assisted by Lawyer Maskur Husain. Robin allegedly met Azis many times to receive money. The money is given regularly three times, namely 100 thousand US dollars, 17,600 Singapore dollars, and 140,500 Singapore dollars. The initial agreement was that Azis had to give Rp4 billion to close the case. Meanwhile, Robin and Maskur are alleged to have received Rp3.1 billion from Azis. For his actions, Azis is suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or Article 5 paragraph (1) letter b or Article 13 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
