JAKARTA - Novel Baswedan is assigned to the Directorate of Corruption Crimes (Dittipidkor) of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Monday, January 3. The former KPK senior investigator will work in the corruption prevention sector.

"The position is, as we said before, we were given the task of preventing corruption," Novel told reporters, Monday, January 3.

Although currently serving in the prevention sector, Novel stated that he did not yet know the pattern that would be applied in his duties. Because, until now the pattern of preventing corruption is still under discussion.

"What kind of pattern will this be discussed later," said Novel.

Therefore, Novel continued, at this time he would first adjust to the Police environment. Then, learn the rules to the things that must be done as a State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"So, of course, we are adapting as we continue to study in more detail about what to do and others," said Novel. Previously, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo stated that the experience of Novel Baswedan and his friends could help resolve the culture of corruption in Indonesia. This is one of the reasons why Novel is placed on the side of prevention.

"Surely this track record can be used as a basis when carrying out activities to resolve potential leaks at the root of the problem due to a culture of corruption," Sigit told reporters, Friday, December 10.

In addition, Novel's experience can strengthen the handling of corruption cases. Thus, the culture of corruption will gradually erode and disappear. "We can change it with their experience, we can strengthen efforts to combat corruption, especially in the prevention sector," said Sigit.
