JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) will involve the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in handling the alleged bribery case of Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari. This is done when the case will enter the prosecution stage or before the trial.

Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) at the Attorney General's Office, Hari Setiyono, said that the involvement of the KPK is in the form of coordination and supervision between institutions.

"To answer public doubts, we will definitely coordinate and supervise. When the case goes up to prosecution, we will coordinate with the KPK," Hari told reporters, Monday, August 31.

In fact, Hari said, if necessary, his party would invite the KPK. "If necessary, a case will be held by inviting our friends from the KPK to answer public doubts," he said.

According to Hari, so far the prosecution will carry out the investigation into this case. However, his party opened the opportunity for the KPK to provide additional information to complete the investigation file of this case.

"Every time KPK friends can ask, add, provide data, provide information. We work optimally," said Hari.

Previously, KPK Deputy Chairman Nawawi Pomolango said that his party had received a request for coordination and supervision from the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) regarding the handling of the alleged bribery case of Attorney Pinangki Sirna Malasari.

"There have been no coordination and supervision steps regarding the handling of the case in question," said KPK Deputy Chairman Nawawi Pomolango, Jakarta, Monday, August 31.

In fact, he had asked the KPK Deputy for Enforcement, Brigadier General Karyoto, regarding this matter. However, said Nawawi, until now there has been no request for coordination and supervision.

"There is no (coordination and supervision) yet, what we have just received is the SPDP notification (an order to start an investigation)," said Nawawi.

Meanwhile, Pinangki Sirna Malasari was named a suspect by the Attorney General's Office because he was suspected of accepting bribes related to the fatwa so that Djoko Tjandra would not be executed in the Bank Bali cessie case at the Supreme Court.

The AGO suspects that Pinangki received a bribe worth 500 thousand US dollars or the equivalent of Rp7 billion from Djoko Tjandra. In this case, the Attorney General's Office has also appointed Djoko Tjandra as the bribe giver.
