The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that every public report that came in would be followed up. No exception, reports of alleged bribery Ismail Bolong to Polri officials related to illegal mining.

"Every case handling by the KPK must begin with a public report. That's what's important," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, February 6.

From this report, continued Ali, verification and review will be carried out. However, the KPK will not carry out any investigations without a report.

"The KPK entrance is to verify, review, enrich information, it is needed," he said.

According to Ali, the KPK will open its hands to receive reports of alleged bribery which are said to have dragged the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto. The public can convey information

"Please, we invite the public if they find allegations of corruption, report them to the KPK. We will definitely follow up with verification of the administrative process," said Ali.

The community, continued Ali, only needed to bring initial data. "Then (give, red) a description of the facts of the alleged crime, that's enough. So that the KPK will proactively enrich the initial information," he said.

The pressure for the KPK to investigate Ismail Bolong's bribes to the Bhayangkara Corps officials continues to be heard. One of them, came from the Youth Justice Association (PPK) which delivered its statement at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"Our arrival today is part of the continuation of the previous action which demanded that the KPK not be selective in resolving corruption cases in this country," said PPK Chairman Dendi Budiman on Thursday, February 2.

Dendi alluded to this allegation that it is not only detrimental to the country economically but also to the environment. Moreover, mining bribery often occurs and not new goods.

Therefore, the KPK was urged to investigate the bribery case allegedly given by Ismail Bolong to a number of high-ranking police officers including Agus Andrianto. "There are disadvantages that cannot be counted, namely natural and environmental damage," he said.

"Imagine the satisfaction of the desires of environmentally corrupt officials and the surrounding community who are victims," Dendi continued.

For information, the National Police has not investigated the alleged bribery of Ismail Bolong to several internal officials. The Bhayangkara Corps only opened up the possibility to cooperate with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in investigating the case.

Even so, Ismail has been named a suspect in illegal mining management along with two of his colleagues, BP who is an illegal coal miner and RP who is the power of Director of PT EMP.
