Former KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri (ANTARA)

The head of the inactive Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Firli Bahuri, did not fulfill the summons for examination as a suspect in the alleged extortion case against the former Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL, at Bareskrim Polri, today. The reason is that Firli will provide information at the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas).

"(Alasan tidak hadir) Salah satunya dateng pemeriksaan di Dewas," ujar kuasa hukum Firli Bahuri, Ian Iskandar saat dihubungi, Kamis, 21 Desember.

According to Ian, his party has written to the Polda Metro Jaya investigators about Firli Bahuri's inability to provide information as a suspect, today.

The letter of application for postponement of the examination was said to have been sent on Wednesday, December 20.

"We have asked for an application to postpone the examination today," he said.

On the other hand, regarding the time of the re-examination of the inactive KPK chairman, Ian could not confirm. The reason is that the investigator determines this matter.

"Ngga, penyidik yang netuin ( waktu pemeriksaan re). Tidak boleh kita," kata Ian.

Firli Bahuri is scheduled to provide information in the alleged extortion case against Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL, today. This is the third time as a suspect.

"Yes, Thursday (the schedule for Firli Bahuri's examination)," said Director of the Special Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak.

It is planned that the inspection process will be carried out at Bareskrim Polri. Investigators have scheduled the withdrawal of Firli Bahuri's statement starting at 10.00 WIB.

Meanwhile, Firli Bahuri was named a suspect based on the results of the case title conducted on Wednesday, November 22. However, until now no detention has been made.

In this case, Firli Bahuri was charged with Article 12 e or Article 12 B or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 65 of the Criminal Code.
