KPK / DOK. BETWEEN

MAKASSAR - Edhy Prabowo's hand-catching operations (OTT) affairs when serving as Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries are now busy again associated with political matters. M Ramdhan Pomanto, the candidate for mayor of Makassar was reported to the South Sulawesi Police (Sulsel) because his statement was seen as cornering JK regarding the 'strong man' behind OTT Edhy Prabowo.

The KPK emphasized that the process of investigating the lobster seed corruption case was purely a legal process.

"We emphasize that the investigations carried out by the KPK are purely a legal process based on evidence and have nothing to do with other matters outside of law enforcement," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri when contacted by VOI, Saturday, December 5 evening.

According to Ali Fikri, the effort to pull the KPK into the political vortex is nothing new. This effort is called by the KPK as an attempt to obscure legal facts.

"We ensure that whoever we summon in the examination are parties who are suspected of knowing the series of events in the case with the aim of making light of the case," said Ali Fikri.

"The KPK will not be affected by these efforts and will continue to work in the corridors of law enforcement. We invite the public to supervise every process, "he continued.

Previously, a video was circulated, accompanied by a voice recording, allegedly the voice of Danny Pomanto, accusing former Vice President Jusuf Kalla of being the mastermind behind Edhy Prabowo's arrest in the corruption case of lobster seed export.

The 1-minute 58-second video went viral on social media on Saturday, December 5.

"So if it's Edhy Prabowo's business, if Novel (Baswedan) is arrested it means JK (Jusuf Kalla). JK - Anies tu. It means the control is in JK, ”said the excerpt from the statement questioned by the JK family lawyer who was also the Head of the Legal Team for the Makassar Pilkada candidate pair Munafri Arifuddin-Abdul Rahman Bando (Appi-Rahman), Yusuf Gunco.

Because of this video, Danny Pomanto, who ran for the Makassar Regional Head Election, was polished by the JK family. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Danny-Fatmawati (ADAMA) team emphasized that Danny Pomanto (DP) did not convey slander.

"In the discussion (related to video, red) there is no element of slander. The one who builds the opinion, the slander is the one who made and recorded it and the caption was made 'Pak DP slandered Mr JK', the one who built the slander was there initially, "said ADAMA spokesman Aloq Natsir when contacted by VOI, Saturday, December 5 evening.

Aloq emphasized that Danny Pomanto only responded to Edhy Prabowo's hand-catching operation (OTT), who was then Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. However, according to Aloq, someone dramatized the DP's statement, leading to accusations that Danny Pomanto slandered JK.

"He spoke casually in response to events, such as the arrest of the minister, the stories. Just an ordinary story, this is just being dramatized that Pak DP slandered Mr. JK even though there was no element of slander in it, "continued Aloq.

Aloq alleged that this dramatization was the one who filmed Danny Pomanto. Aloq also mentioned the competition in the Makassar Pilkada.

"Listen, read it first, there is no element of slander in it by the DP. Only the competitor recorded it, allegedly the one who recorded it was the head of the Bosowa taxi association, who recorded it. We know who owns Bosowa, right, ”said Aloq.
