JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it has pocketed evidence of alleged corruption that ensnared Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. Investigators have worked according to the applicable rules.

"We ensure that every case that goes up to the investigation stage, the KPK has had at least two sufficient pieces of evidence," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, September 19.

Ali said the evidence was obtained through a series of processes. Including, through witness statements to experts or other documents.

It was confirmed that the determination of the suspect Lukas Enembe was not a form of criminalization. Ali emphasized that the investigation into alleged corruption carried out by the KPK in Papua was a follow-up to public reports.

"We emphasize that the KPK has no other interest than pure law enforcement as a follow-up to community reports," he said.

Moreover, the KPK has also summoned Lukas on September 12 at the Mako Brimob Papua. He will be questioned regarding the case that ensnared him.

However, Ali said that Lukas actually sent his attorney. "The examination in Papua is intended to make it easier for the person concerned. However, the person concerned is not present by fulfilling the summons by being represented by his legal representative," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK confirmed that it had named Papuan Governor Lukas Enembe as a suspect. The case that ensnared him has not been detailed, but the incumbent governor has been prevented from going abroad for six months.

The Directorate General of Immigration said that the prevention was requested by the KPK for six months.

"The Directorate of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement (Ditwasdakim) of the Directorate General of Immigration has received a prevention application to the subject on behalf of Lukas Enembe," said Director of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement I Nyoman Gede Surya Mataram in a written statement, Monday, September 12.

In addition, the KPK has tried to summon and examine Lukas some time ago. However, he did not attend the reason he was sick.
