JAKARTA - Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) said Deputy Chair of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Lili Pintauli Siregar has the potential to be sentenced if he actually accepts gratification.

This was conveyed in response to Lili's reporting which was being investigated by the Supervisory Board. He allegedly received accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP from a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN).

"The acceptance can be considered as gratification if Lili is just passive and does not report the receipt to the KPK. This action clearly violates Article 12B of the Anti-Corruption Law and the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK can be sentenced to 20 years in prison or even life," said ICW Researcher, Kurnia Ramadhana in her written statement to reporters, Wednesday, April 13.

Not only that, Lili can also be considered a bribery practice if the giver turns out to provide accommodation and tickets to secure a case at the KPK. Just like gratuities, the punishment is also up to 20 years in prison or life.

Even so, Lili's reporting to the KPK Council did not really surprise ICW. The reason, said Kurnia, is that this is not the first time that Lili is suspected of committing an ethical violation.

"The issue of ethical violations allegedly committed by Lili Pintauli Siregar is not surprising anymore. Because the track record in question is indeed problematic, especially after his communication with the litigants was exposed to the community," he said.

Furthermore, the KPK Supervisory Board was asked to immediately follow up on these alleged ethical violations. Kurnia said Tumpak Hatorangan et al must be proactive in seeking and collecting relevant evidence such as communication evidence, flight manifests, or CCTV footage at the Mandalika Circuit.

"In addition, the KPK Supervisory Board must immediately bring this alleged violation of the code of ethics to the ethics trial," said Kurnia.

If, from this trial, Lili is found guilty, the KPK Council is asked to advise Lili to resign. "If the request is ignored, the Supervisory Board must write to the President to immediately dismiss Lili on the grounds that she has committed a disgraceful act in accordance with Article 32 paragraph (1) letter c of Law Number 19 of 2019," explained Kurnia. in this gift. "Because the area of action is not in the Supervisory Board. So, coordination is needed between the Supervisory Board and the Deputy for Enforcement," he said.

As previously reported, Lili allegedly received gratuities in the form of hotel accommodation and tickets to watch the Mandalika MotoGP from one of the state-owned companies.

This complaint was then followed up by the KPK Council by asking for clarification from a number of parties. In addition, Tumpak Hatorangan et al have asked related parties to bring proof of booking accommodation at Amber Lombok Beach Resort and Mandalika MotoGP tickets at the Grandstand Premium Zone A-Red.

As for this complaint, this is not the first time that it has been directed against Lili. On August 30, 2021, the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) Council stated that Lili was proven to have violated the code of ethics and code of conduct, so she was sentenced to severe sanctions.

He was found guilty of violating the code of ethics and behavioral guidelines in the form of abuse of influence as a KPK leader for personal interests and dealing directly with the party whose case is being handled by the KPK, namely the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.

For her actions, Lili was given a severe sanction in the form of cutting her basic salary by 40 percent for 12 months or Rp. 1,848 million.
