JAKARTA - Indonesia Calling (IM) 57+ Institute asked Polda Metro Jaya to immediately announce the suspect related to the extortion case of former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo. This step is important to maintain the credibility of the Police.

"Polda Metro Jaya must immediately announce the suspect in the extortion case against SYL in order to create legal certainty for all parties and become evidence of the credibility of the Police as a law enforcement agency," said Chairman of the IM 57+ Institute, Praswad Nugraha in a written statement to reporters, Thursday, October 19.

Praswad reminded that legal certainty is an important aspect. Do not let this case be unclear because there is a certain agreement by other parties.

"Don't let illegal passengers make deals in the dark space in this SYL extortion case," he said.

The series of cases of alleged extortion or acceptance of gratuities by the KPK leadership against Syahrul Yasin Limpo began when Polda Metro Jaya received a complaint on August 12, 2023. Then the collection of information materials (pulbaket) was carried out by the Tipidkor Sub-Directorate of the Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya based on a letter issued on Tuesday, August 15, 2023.

Not long after, the police issued an investigation warrant on August 21. At this stage, a number of witnesses were examined, one of which was SYL.

Then, after the series of investigations were completed, investigators carried out a case title. As a result, a criminal element was found so that the status of the case was upgraded to the investigation stage.

At this stage a number of witnesses were summoned. In fact, KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri was also asked to come on Friday, October 20 for questioning by investigators.
