The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked witnesses of alleged bribery and gratuities that ensnared AKBP Bambang Kayun to fulfill the investigator's summons. The witnesses were asked to cooperate because their statements were needed by KPK investigators.

"(KPK, ed) hopes that the parties summoned as witnesses in this case will be cooperative in attending and honestly explaining what they know," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, December 14.

Ali ensured that investigators would step on the gas to investigate this case. Moreover, the pretrial submitted by Bambang Kayun to the South Jakarta District Court was rejected.

The KPK also confirmed that it had evidence to investigate this case. Thus, there is no reason to postpone the investigation of the case.

"The determination of the suspect BK by the KPK is legal according to the law," said Ali.

Ali invites the public to continue to monitor the investigation of this case. He ensured that the alleged bribery and gratuities received by Bambang would be carried out transparently.

"We invite the public to supervise and oversee the entire process that we are carrying out," he said.

"KPK ensures that every law enforcement by the KPK is carried out not by violating the law itself," continued Ali.

As previously reported, AKBP Bambang Kayun was named 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.

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

However, the lawsuit was rejected by the Sole Judge of the South Jakarta District Court, Agung Sutomo Thoba. Bambang's determination as a suspect is considered to have complied with the procedure.

"Declaring that the applicant's pretrial cannot be accepted," said Agung when reading the verdict at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, December 13.
