The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will investigate the alleged involvement of other police officers in the bribery and gratification case that ensnared AKBP Bambang Kayun. He is suspected of not playing alone in carrying out the rasuah practice. "There is a further development problem, for example the involvement of other individuals (Police officers, ed), we will see," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto to reporters at the Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, December 5. Karyoto was reluctant to discuss further the alleged involvement of other Bhayangkara Corps officers in the case that ensnared Bambang Kayun. This is because this allegation is already busy even though efforts to force detention have not been made. He only made sure Bambang was not the sole perpetrator. Moreover, said Karyoto, he was named a suspect in receiving bribes and gratuities. "The alleged involvement is of course a giver, when it is time for me to tell who the giver is, what is clear at the pretrial hearing is revealed. But what is clear is that the determination of the suspect is that if there is a recipient there must be a giver," he said. The KPK has named AKBP Bambang Kayun as a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification related to falsification of letters during the case for the seizure of the rights of the heirs of PT Aria Citra Mulia (ACM). He is suspected of getting billions of rupiah to the Toyota Alphard car. Meanwhile, AKBP 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.
