JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri is scheduled to be questioned at the Polda Metro Jaya today. One of the things that will be explored is the photo of a meeting with former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL.

"That (photo) is only one of the questions that will be asked," said Director of Special Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak when confirmed, Friday, October 20.

Firli was originally scheduled to provide testimony as a witness in the alleged corruption case in the form of extortion or receiving gratuities by the KPK leadership against Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

However, until now it is not known that Firli will fulfill the summons for examination or not. Moreover, there has been no confirmation to the investigators regarding this matter.

"Not yet (confirmed presence). We'll wait," said Ade.

Meanwhile, in an effort to reveal the suspect in this case, investigators have examined 45 witnesses in a marathon. Starting from Syahrul Yasin Limpo, Semarang Police Chief Kombes Irwan Anwar to several former KPK Deputy Chairs.

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 Dumas on August 12, 2023.

With the complaint, the Tipidkor Sub-Directorate of the Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya collected information on the basis of a statement collection order (pulbaket) issued on Tuesday, August 15, 2023.

Not long after, investigators 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.
