JAKARAT - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still reviewing the Joko Soegiarto Tjandra case document files that were previously sent by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) and the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit to investigate the involvement of other parties in the case.

"Currently, the documents are still in the process of being reviewed by the supervision team," said Acting Spokesman Ali Fikri in a statement received in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Monday, November 23.

According to him, the supervision team will study whether from the construction of the case in the document there are indications of a criminal incident so that it will also examine the possibility of other parties who can be held legally responsible in the case of Djoko Tjandra.

"The KPK supervision team also keeps a close watch on every fact that is in the process of evidence at the trial of the case in question which is currently still ongoing at the Corruption Crime Court," said Ali.

Previously, KPK Deputy Chairman Nawawi Pomolango said the document was needed to be combined with other documents obtained from the public, one of which was the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) to further investigate the case of Djoko Tjandra.

"These files and documents are needed by the supervision team to be combined with documents obtained from the public for further review," Nawawi said in his statement in Jakarta, Thursday, November 12.

He stated that these files and documents were needed to be able to ensnare other parties who had not been touched by the Police and the Attorney General's Office.

"It can be considered the possibility that the KPK will carry out new investigations into the untouched clusters," he said.

It is known, as Presidential Decree No. 102/2020 concerning the Implementation of Supervision of Corruption Eradication, the KPK has the authority to supervise agencies authorized to eradicate corruption crimes, namely the National Police and the AGO.

Djoko Tjandra was charged with two charges. First, Djoko Tjandra was charged with bribing prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari for 500 thousand Singapore dollars, former Head of the International Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte for 200 thousand Singapore dollars and 270 US dollars and the former Head of the Coordinating and Supervision Bureau (Kakorwas) Civil Service Investigators ( PPNS) Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Prasetijo Utomo worth 150 thousand US dollars.

Meanwhile, in the second indictment, Djoko Tjandra was charged with conspiracy with Pinangki Sirna Malasari and Andi Irfan Jaya to give or promise money of US $ 10 million to officials at the Attorney General's Office and at the Supreme Court.
