KPK Senior Investigator Novel Baswedan / Special

JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) senior investigator Novel Baswedan was reported to Bareskrim Polri. This report is related to his tweets on social media commenting on the death of Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi alias Soni Eranata.

Deputy Chairman of the DPP Youth, Student and Student Partnership for Community Protection (PPMK) Joko Priyoski as the reporter, said this reporting was done because Novel was deemed not to have the authority to comment on this.

"We reported Novel Baswedan because he made a tweet on twitter which we suspected was making hoaxes and provocations," Joko told reporters, Thursday, February 11.

In fact, Joko also mentioned that he would report Novel to the KPK Supervisory Board. The reason is still the same, namely Novel does not have the authority to comment on it.

"We will also urge the KPK Supervisory Board to immediately impose sanctions on Novel Baswedan's brother for this remark," he said.

In this case, Joko reported Novel Baswedan by using Article 14, 15 of Law number 1 of 1946 and also of the ITE Law Article 45A paragraph 2 jo Article 28 paragraph 2 of Law 18 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law number 11. year 2008.

However, until now, this report has not been officially received. This is because PPMK is still completing the reporting process.

For information, the questioned Novel Baswedan tweeted because he said that the authorities should not go too far. The post was uploaded on February 9, 2021.

"Innalillahi Wainnailaihi Rojiun Ustadz Maaher died at the Police detention center. In the case of humiliation, detention, then illness. People are sick, why are they forced to be detained? The authorities don't go too far. Especially with Ustadz. This is not trivial, you know," wrote the Novel Baswedan account @nazaqitsha.
