Polda Metro Jaya is coordinating with the Legal Bureau of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to determine the time for the examination of Firli Bahuri. Originally, the KPK chairman was scheduled to provide information at the Polda Metro Jaya, today. However, Firli could not fulfill it. "We are still coordinating with the Indonesian KPK legal bureau regarding the time to be determined for additional information examination of the person concerned," said Director of Special Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak to reporters, Tuesday, November 14. The reason Firli could not attend the examination was said to have been submitted to investigators through an official letter. It is said that the KPK chairman must attend the examination at the KPK Council. In that letter, Firli requested that the examination process not be carried out at the Polda Metro Jaya. However, it was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. "A request was conveyed to the investigative team for an examination or request for additional information from FB as a witness, the chairman of the KPK RI, which could be carried out at the Bareskrim Polri building," he said. For now, investigators have not been able to decide to accept or reject the request. Because, it must be consolidated first with the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. "Yes, we will consider it, yes, I said earlier, we will consider the request in question," said Ade. Meanwhile, the temporary development of the investigation into the alleged extortion case against Syahrul Yasin Limpo, Polda Metro Jaya has examined around 70 witnesses. Not only witnesses, in an effort to resolve this alleged extortion case, investigators also asked for information from five experts.

In this case, it is suspected that there was a criminal act of Article 12 letter e, Article 12 letter B and or Article 11 of the Corruption Crime Law Junto Article 65 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
