JAKARTA - The chairman of the inactive Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Firli Bahuri, has finished undergoing the second examination as a suspect in the alleged extortion case against former Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo. However, Firrli again chose not to appear.

Firli Bahuri is known to have undergone an examination for 10 hours. Starting from 10.00 WIB to 20.00 WIB.

However, the retired National Police officer chose not to appear to the public. This is because Firli chose to leave the Bareskrim Polri building through the General Secretariat (Setum).

In fact, during the previous examination process, Firli dared to appear and conveyed several things in front of the media crew.

Firli Bahuri's attitude that does not want to appear to the public is not the first time this has happened. Before being named a suspect, the inactive KPK chairman was always a cat and mouse with the media crew.

Meanwhile, Firli Bahuri arrived around the Police Criminal Investigation Unit at 09.15 WIB. He appeared to be accompanied by several people who were suspected of being his aides.

He did not make any statements. This is because Firli, who was wearing a dark blue shirt, immediately stepped in to undergo an examination.

During the previous examination, Firli Bahuri was asked 40 questions. Deputy Director of Corruption at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Kombes Arief Adiharsa said investigators were investigating the issue of meetings and assets.

Dozens of questions asked by investigators have been fully answered by Firli in about 10 hours. Where, the examination process starts from 09.00 WIB to 19.00 WIB.

Questions from the investigators were also said to include 7 examination materials. Starting from Firli Bahuri's meeting with Syahrul Yasin Limpo to assets and wealth.

Meanwhile, in the circulating photo, Firli is known to have met SYL at one of the Sports Centers (GOR) in the Mangga Besar area, West Jakarta.

"The questions that are put on the rights of the person concerned as a suspect, the events of meetings and receipts of gifts or promises, communication that uses digital evidence," he said.

"The exchange of foreign exchange transactions, positions as KPK leaders and their obligations and prohibitions, assets and LHKPN, as well as assets or assets that are still owned," said Arief.

In the alleged extortion case, Firli Bahuri, who has the status of a suspect, is charged with Article 12e, 12B or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the eradication of corruption in conjunction with Article 65 of the Criminal Code. Thus, it is threatened with life imprisonment.
