The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said reports of alleged illegal mining bribery in East Kalimantan that dragged the name of the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto, would be followed up. They will examine before searching for evidence.

"We just received the report. So we have not collected any evidence. We have just received the next report," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron, quoted on Tuesday, December 6.

Ghufron said that this kind of check was indeed carried out on reporting the alleged corruption that came in. He asked for time so that this process can run optimally.

"We need to, then we are still carrying out the process of collecting evidence from both PLPM and under investigation. So we are still carrying out the process," he said.

The KPK was asked to participate in investigating allegations of illegal mining bribes in East Kalimantan (Kaltim) which are said to involve the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto. The investigation must be carried out thoroughly.

"We ask the Corruption Eradication Commission as an ad hoc institution that is directed to eradicate corruption in this country to thoroughly investigate illegal mining cases in East Kalimantan," said Giefrans Mahendra, Coordinator of the Student Solidity Coalition (KSPM) at the KPK's Red and White Building, South Jakarta, Wednesday, November 30.

Giefrans said there were a number of documents brought to the KPK. One of the documents is claimed to be related to the statement of the former Head of the Propam Polri Ferdy Sambo.

Previously, the name of Komjen Agus Andrianto was dragged into the alleged receipt of illegal mining bribes based on the LHP document number R/1253/WAS.2.4/2022/IV/DIVPROPAM dated April 7, 2022.

In the LHP submitted by the Head of the National Police Propam Division, which at that time was held by Ferdy Sambo to the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, it was written that Aiptu Ismail Bolong gave coordination money to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police, which was handed over to Kombes BH as Head of Sub-Directorate V Dittipidter 3 times, namely October, November and December 2021 amounting to IDR 3 billion every month to be distributed at the Dittipidter Bareskrim.

In addition, he also gave coordination money to Komjen Agus Andrianto as the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police directly in the Kabareskrim office in USD 3 times, namely October, November, and December 2021 amounting to IDR 2 billion.
