JAKARTA - Commission III of the DPR stated that the legal process against Lili Pintauli Siregar, who was suspected of receiving gratuities, still had to be followed up. Although, Lili has resigned as the head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

It is known, Lili Pintauli Siregar suddenly resigned from the leadership of the KPK on the day of the ethical decision trial held by the Supervisory Board (Dewas) on Monday, July 11. The ethics session was held to follow up on the report containing the allegation that Lili received gratuities from state-owned enterprises (BUMN).

"We agree that our grip is the state constitution. If the state constitution, the 1945 Constitution of our country is a state of law. What article is gratification in? Article 12? Is that a crime? A criminal act," said Chairman of Commission III of the DPR, Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul, at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 12.

According to Bambang, the crime did not fall even though the person concerned resigned from his position. Moreover, he resigned before the ethics trial found him guilty.

"Then the crime ended because then he resigned? How can that be, the basic theory doesn't fit the boss. The state of law, criminal acts are then finished by resigning? Where is the formula? Please tell me," said Bambang.

The PDIP politician said he would question the steps taken by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Council for not proceeding with the alleged Lili gratification case at a hearing at the DPR. Bambang emphasized that the legal process for the alleged gratification has been contained in the Corruption Law so that it fulfills the criminal element.

"Later we will ask the Commission III. We will ask what the legal basis is. As for today, my opinion is that the legal basis cannot be. Article 12 is gratification. It's just a matter of receiving gratification early or receiving late. it's 12 b. It's the same as violating the article, right. Article on the Corruption Law Number 19 boss, there's this," explained Bambang.

"Does it only apply to being excluded? Isn't it for all citizens of the republic of Indonesia. State officials are excluded? That's right. There is a friend of mine who is no longer in office and is still subject to the boss process, gratuities come in. I don't have to mention his name, this is not good, but entering also has stopped not serving," he concluded.
