JAKARTA - Investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) have finished examining the Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit of Semarang Polrestabes AKP Agus Supriyadi.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Prevention, Ipi Maryati, said that Agus's examination was not carried out at the KPK's Red and White building but was carried out at the National Police Headquarters.

"The person concerned is present and the inspection site is facilitated by the National Police Headquarters by being carried out at the Propam Division of the Police Headquarters," Ipi told reporters, Tuesday, November 16.

During the examination, investigators continued, Ipi explored a number of things, including Azis' request to be assisted by a former KPK investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju.

"The Investigative Team has re-explored the knowledge of the witnesses, including those related to the request of suspect AZ for Stephanus Robin Pattuju to assist in handling the case that is being investigated by the KPK," he said.

Agus Supriyadi is known to have accompanied former KPK investigator Stepanus Robin Pattuju to meet with Azis Syamsuddin at his residence. This was revealed in the trial with the defendant Stepanus Robin Pattuju some time ago at the Corruption Court. At that time, Agus was presented as a witness.

At the meeting held around February to May 2020, Agus admitted that he only introduced Stepanus to Azis. Not only that, he also said that Stepanus called Azis Syamsuddin as a foster father and that Azis took the initiative to ask for the cellphone number of the former KPK investigator.

It was previously reported that former deputy chairman of the Golkar Party, Azis Syamsuddin, was named a suspect in connection with the alleged bribery in handling corruption cases being handled by the KPK in Central Lampung. This award was given to Stepanus Robin Pattuju who had been dismissed from his job as an investigator.

In this case, the KPK suspects that Azis and former General Chairperson of the PP Youth Forces of the Golkar Party (AMPG) Aliza Gunado gave bribes to KPK investigator Stepanus Robin Pattuju (SRP) worth Rp. 3.1 billion from an agreement of Rp. 4 billion.

The money was given to Stepanus so that the former investigators would secure their position in the alleged corruption of the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) in Central Lampung.
