JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is ready to face a pretrial lawsuit filed by Police personnel Bambang Kayun. This submission was made because he did not accept being named a suspect.

"We are ready to face it, and we are sure that what we have done is in accordance with the legal procedures that apply to the determination of the suspect," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto to reporters, Wednesday, November 23.

Karyoto ensured that the evidence to ensnare Bambang had been pocketed. So, they don't want to bother facing the lawsuit.

The KPK also refused to specify the case that ensnared Bambang. "If the person concerned has filed a pretrial lawsuit for us, there is no problem," said Karyoto.

Previously, Bambang sued the KPK at the South Jakarta District Court (PN). The lawsuit was filed because the Bhayangkara Corps member was named a suspect.

The South Jakarta District Court Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) said the lawsuit was registered number 108/Pid.Pra/2022/PN JKT.SEL. gift or promise while serving as Head of Subdivision of Criminal and Human Rights (HAM) for the Legal Application of the Bureau of Bankum, Police Legal Division from 2013 to 2019.

The money came from Emylia Said and Hermansyah. Next, Bambang also asked the pretrial judge to order the anti-corruption commission to withdraw efforts to block all of his accounts.

He also admitted that he suffered losses of up to tens of millions of rupiah.

"The act of the respondent who determined the applicant as a suspect without a procedure was a juridical defect or against the law which resulted in a loss of Rp. 25 million per month starting from October until he submitted this application," the lawsuit was quoted as saying.

Bambang hopes that this lawsuit will be accepted. Thus, the determination of the suspect by the anti-corruption commission can be annulled.
