JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the 'Blok Medan' would only be investigated after the leadership received a report from the public prosecutor (JPU) who served in the alleged bribery trial of former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba. They can't just move. "So we are in a position of waiting. Waiting for the trial process to take place and there is a report from the prosecutor to the leadership," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters quoted on Thursday, August 15. Tessa said in the report that the prosecutor would usually convey the facts that emerged at the trial. As with the question of the 'Blok Medan' that dragged the name of the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution. "So technically, because the trial is still ongoing, everything that appears in the trial will be made a report by the public prosecutor to the leadership," he stressed. "Things whatever comes up, anything new as stated (about the 'Blok Medan', ed) will be submitted by the public prosecutor's friends to the leadership," continued the spokesman with the investigator's background. Previously, former KPK leadership and employee asked Nawawi Pomolango as Chairman While the KPK dared to investigate Blok Medan. This was conveyed in an audience held at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Wednesday, August 14.

This term was revealed after the Head of the North Maluku ESDM Service, Suryanto Andili, testified at the trial of former North Maluku Governor Abdul Gani Kasuba. Suryanto at that time explained that "Medan Block" refers to the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution after being asked by the prosecutor. Meanwhile, on a different occasion, Abdul Gani Kasuba actually mentioned the term referring to Kahiyang as Jokowi's son who is also Bobby's wife.
