The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will comply with legal provisions when investigating allegations of bribery and gratuities that ensnared AKBP Bambang Kayun. This investigation will also be carried out professionally.

"The whole process (investigation of alleged bribery and gratification, ed) is carried out in a professional, transparent manner, and complies with applicable legal provisions," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, November 25.

Any developments in this case will be made public. Most recently, the anti-corruption commission has blocked accounts belonging to Bambang and other parties in this case.

Ali said the blocking aims to optimize the work of investigators in investigating allegations of bribery and gratuities.

"The suspension is of course in the context of the need for the process of investigating this case," he said.

Bambang was named a suspect in the alleged bribery and gratification related to falsification of letters in the case of the seizure of the rights of PT Aria Citra Mulia's heirs. The KPK suspects that he got billions of rupiah and a Toyota Alphard car.

Meanwhile, Bambang Kayun filed a pretrial at the South Jakarta District Court. He sued because he did not accept being named a suspect by the KPK.

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.
