JAKARTA - After being allowed to work for less than a month, an independent team was filled by the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo), Bareskrim Polri, National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to reveal a number of facts related to Harun Masiku's undetectable entry. to Indonesia from Singapore via Terminal 2F Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten. The team uncovers the fact that Harun actually returned to Indonesia on January 7. This fact is not surprising, considering that a number of mass media investigating the whereabouts of Harun Masiku have reported it beforehand. In a press conference at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Office, Head of the Investigation and Enforcement Section of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) Syofian Kurniawan then stated the difference in communication regarding the arrival Harun Masiku happened because of the delay in sending data on the Harun Masiku crossing. This is due to the configuration of the uniform resource locator (URL) when upgrading the SIMKIM (Immigration Management Information System) system on December 23, 2019. They reinforce this excuse by blaming the vendor for being careless. "This happens because the vendor forgot to synchronize or "Connecting data on the PC counter at Terminal 2F of Soetta Airport with the local server of Soetta Airport and the server at the Pusdakim of the Directorate General of Immigration," said Syofian in a press conference at his office, Wednesday, February 19. From the pretext of negligence, as a result 120,661 people entered Indonesia. via Terminal 2F Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten but the crossing data was not sent or was not detected by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. Including Harun Masiku. This mistake is quite fatal if you look at the number of those who entered Indonesia but are not recorded. It's just that, when alluded to the hundreds of thousands of numbers that have entered and are not recorded, it could be that other criminals have entered, Sofyan refused to answer further. Likewise about the sanctions that will be given, all of them are thrown at the Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna Laoly as the highest leader. "That is the realm of the minister," he said, adding that it was not the authority of the independent joint team formed by the Minister of Law and Human Rights. From this explanation, Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) responded to the same statements. Their researcher, Kurnia Ramadhana said that even though the team argued that Harun Masiku's inability to enter Indonesia was a system error caused by careless vendors, in fact, Yasonna still said it did not match the data in the field. said Harun is still abroad. "The analysis by the Kemenkumham team does not diminish our assessment that Yasonna has said not according to facts," said Kurnia when contacted by VOI via text message, Thursday, February 20. Kurnia also asked President Joko Widodo to take a stance, not just reprimand his assistant. The attitude referred to by the anti-corruption activist is to remove Yasonna because what the Menkumham did has hampered the law enforcement process related to the bribery case of the former KPU commissioner. "The president must really show his support for law enforcement," he stressed. Meanwhile, regarding the team's results that were conveyed through a press conference, Kurnia asked the KPK not to believe in the pretext that resulted in Harun Masiku not being detected. According to him, this anti-graft agency must carry out further verification regarding the results of the investigation. In addition, Kurnia also wants the KPK to be able to investigate allegations of obstruction of justice or obstruct the investigation of cases conducted by Yasonna on data errors related to Harun's whereabouts. "The KPK must investigate allegations of obstruction of justice. justice carried out by Yasonna over data errors related to the whereabouts of Harun Masiku, "he said. The difficulty in finding Harun Masiku, Head of PDI Perjuangan who has been a fugitive for 40 days, admitted that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is indeed difficult to detect. Moreover, the suspect who gave bribes to the former Commissioner for the General Elections Commission (KPU) Wahyu Setiawan is suspected of not using a cell phone where his whereabouts can be detected. "If someone uses a cell phone it is very easy to trace or use social media, it's very easy, the fact is not, "said Acting. KPK spokesman for prosecution Ali Fikri at the KPK Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday night, February 19. Although it was difficult to trace, Ali claimed, the KPK actually knew where Harun was hiding and the team was currently investigating. We need to go to the points, "he said, without mentioning the location in detail. Ali also emphasized that this anti-graft agency is not without searching for his fugitives. He said, the KPK together with the police continued to search for the whereabouts of the PDIP candidate. "I am sure and the KPK is committed to finding the suspect, therefore we have an interest in completing the case file so that it can be submitted to the Corruption Court. Even if it is not found, it will be our responsibility because it is to settle the case file. and on trial, it must be found, "he said. Previously reported, this case began on Wednesday, January 8. The KPK named four people as suspects in a bribery case related to the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the 2019-2024 DPR RI during the election. The four are PDIP candidate Harun Masiku; KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan; former Bawaslu member and Wahyu's confidant; Agustiani Tio Fridelina; and Saeful, who is a private party. Among the four suspects, only Harun Masiku has not surrendered to the KPK. According to the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Harun left Indonesia and went to Singapore on January 6, or two days before the KPK's silent operation. However, recently the immigration authorities corrected the statement. The Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Ronny Sompie, was removed from his position, because he reported that Harun was back in Indonesia. Harun entered Indonesia on January 7, or the day before the KPK OTT took place and it is not known where his whereabouts.
