JAKARTA - Former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo alias SYL together with the Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery of the Ministry of Agriculture Muhammad Hatta and Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi Subagyono were again questioned by Bareskrim Polri today, Thursday 11 January.

SYL, Hatta and Kasdi were questioned in connection with the alleged extortion case committed by former KPK chairman Firli Bahuri.

"It is true That today, January 11, 2024 at 10.00 WIB, SYL, M. Hatta and Kasdi (KPK RI detainees) were again summoned by the Investigation Team of the Metro Jaya Police Ditreskrimsus for the purpose of examination or providing additional information," said Director of Criminal Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Ade Safri Simanjuntak, Thursday 11 January.

Ade continued, the three former Ministry of Agriculture officials will be examined by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police on the 6th floor of the Bareskrim building.

In addition to the agenda for the examination above, investigators also summoned several other witnesses for additional questioning.

"The investigation is in the context of fulfilling the P19 prosecutor's instructions at the DKI Jakarta Prosecutor's Office in handling the a quo case," continued Ade.

SYL's lawyer, Djamaludin Koedoeboen confirmed that Syahrul Yasin Limpo would attend.

"That's right, at 10 this morning at the Criminal Investigation Unit on the 6th floor," said Djamaludin, Thursday, January 11.

Djamaludin suspects that the summons of SYL is controversial, where Polri investigators conduct an examination by bringing together witnesses with witnesses, or witnesses with suspects.
