The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has been urged to take over the alleged mining bribery that ensnared Ismail Bolong from the National Police. The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) assessed that the KPK could move to resolve the case.
"The KPK should have taken over. If you wait to be handed over, it will be difficult," said MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman to reporters, Monday, December 19.
The case of Ismail Bolong is considered by Boyamin to be right for the KPK to take. He suspects that the investigation carried out by the National Police is only targeting at the lower level.
In addition, there is a tendency for this case to be handled in the style of the police. "It is suspected that they did not target the real perpetrators," he said.
"There are efforts to investigate deposit-deposit cases only to become illegal (alleged, red) mines," Boyamin continued.
The KPK had previously stated that it would not arbitrarily take the alleged bribery of illegal coal mines that ensnared Ismail Bolong. There are three conditions determined by law.
First, if there are allegations of corruption, there will be no progress because the handling drags on. Next, there is an effort to protect the main actors.
"And there are allegations of corruption in the handling of cases," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata to reporters, Saturday, December 17.
Meanwhile, the National Police opened the opportunity to cooperate with the anti-corruption commission in the effort to investigate the alleged bribery. However, this step will be taken after the evidence is declared sufficient.
"Once again, if it is possible, the KPK will cooperate with the PPATK, technically, investigators. All of the corridors are how the evidence obtained by the investigative team can be followed up and an investigation and investigation process is carried out," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Friday, December 16.
In this case, Ismail Bolong is said to have regulated illegal mining activities within the Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement or PKP2B owned by PT Santan Batubara (SB). He has been named and detained as a suspect.
"IB plays a role in regulating a series of illegal mining activities within other company PKP2B and serves as Commissioner of PT EMP who does not have a mining business license to carry out mining activities," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Kombes Nurul Azizah.
In addition, Ismail is also suspected of being related to a bribery case. The suspicion began after the report document on the results of the investigation (LHP) with the number R/1253/WAS.2.4/2022/IV/DIVPROPAM, dated April 7, 2022. However, the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police has so far not investigated the alleged bribery case of Ismail Bolong.
In the document, there is the name of Komjen Agus Andrianto who is said to have accepted bribes. At the LHP submitted by the Head of the Propam Police Division at that time, 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.
The handover was made to Kombes BH as Head of Sub-Directorate V Dittipidter 3 times, namely October, November, and December 2021. The amount of the gift reached IDR 3 billion every month to be distributed at the Dittipidter Bareskrim.
In addition, the coordination money was also allegedly given to Komjen Agus Andrianto as the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police directly in the Kabareskrim office in the form of US dollars. The giving was made three times, namely October, November, and December 2021 with a nominal value of Rp. 2 billion.
