The inactive KPK chairman Firli Bahuri (DOK KPK)

JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto stated that he would follow up on reports from the Indonesian Budget and Anti-Corruption Transparency Institute (Lemtaki) regarding the alleged misuse of documents for handling cases of alleged bribery at the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation. The inactive KPK chairman, Firli Bahuri, is the reported party. "Yes, we'll see, we'll examine it, if there is a report, we have to follow up," Karyoto told reporters, Thursday, December 21. After the reporting file is investigated, investigators will collect witness testimony. Then, confirm whether the status of the document that was allegedly leaked was confidential or not. The move was taken to ensure whether or not there was a criminal offense behind the report. "What is leaked, what are the documents, the reporter will bring the documents, not the same as the ones in the cemetery, so we will examine them first," said Karyoto. The inactive chairman of the KPK, Firli Bahuri, was reported to the Polda Metro Jaya. The report relates to allegations of misuse of documents handling cases of alleged bribery at the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation. "We have made a report to the Polda Metro Jaya on December 18," said the head of the Indonesian Budget and Anti-Corruption Transparency Agency (Lemtaki), Edy Susilo as the reporter, quoted on Wednesday, December 20. Not only Firli Bahuri, the attorney for the inactive KPK chairman, Ian Iskandar, was also reported. This is because he attached the secret document and opened it in the pretrial trial. The reason behind the report was because Firli Bahuri and his lawyers were deemed not authorized to use the document. Moreover, Firli is currently not an active KPK leader. " Firli's capacity in pretrial is personal, not on behalf of the institution. So the use of institutional documents is not impossible to become an ethical and even criminal offender," said Edy.

Meanwhile, the report was registered with the number LP/B/7588/XII/2023/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA, dated December 18, 2023. In the report, Firli Bahuri allegedly violated Article 54 of Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure.
