Firli Bahuri/DOK Wardhany Tsa Tsia-VOI

JAKARTA - Former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Firli Bahuri, has again filed a pretrial lawsuit for the third time regarding the alleged extortion or acceptance of gratuities to the South Jakarta District Court.

In the pretrial lawsuit, the main application is still regarding the validity of the determination of Firli Bahuri as a suspect.

"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 said that the steps were again to file a pretrial lawsuit for the third time because it was to fight for justice. Because, for years the former chairman of the KPK has assumed the status of a suspect.

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

Previously in the first pretrial lawsuit, the judge who tried the case decided not to accept it.

Then, Firli submitted his second application on January 22, 2024. However, a few days later, January 30, 2024, the pretrial application was withdrawn.
