Azis Syamsuddin Denies Having 'Insiders' At The KPK: By Allah I Don't Do Things Outside The Rules

JAKARTA - Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Azis Syamsuddin, has denied having 'insiders' in the KPK who can be ordered to secure corruption cases. Azis admitted that he had explained this during the examination process at the KPK.

"No, I have been asked that the KPK does not exist," said Azis Syamsuddin during the trial at the Corruption Court, Jakarta, Monday, October 25.

Azis also denied the information that stated that he had asked AKP Stepanus Robin Pattuju to be introduced to the Deputy Head of Criminal Investigation at the Semarang Police, Agus Supriadi.

To convince the panel of judges and prosecutors, Azis said he was willing to risk his late parents.

"That there are issues behind it, on this occasion I say By Allah, By the Messenger of Allah, I do not do things outside the normative rules," said Azis.

"There are issues that are developing, there are none. I dare on behalf of my late father, on behalf of my late mother, for the benefit of my family and descendants, I say I have never done that," continued Azis.

For information, the alleged 'insider' or 'puppet' who helped Azis Syamsuddin appeared at the trial of former KPK investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju.

Based on the investigation report (BAP) belonging to the Regional Secretary of Tanjungbalai Yusmada, it was stated that the former Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party had someone who could secure himself at the KPK.
