The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was asked to summon Firli Bahuri et al as the leader for the 2019-2024 period after investigator Rossa Purbo Bekti testified that there was an attempt to intervene during the interim replacement bribery (PAW) operation for members of the DPR RI in 2020.
This was conveyed by Praswad Nugraha as a former KPK investigator in response to Rossa's testimony during the trial of the obstruction case in the investigation of the Harun Masiku case and PAW bribery with the defendant PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto on Friday, May 9. According to him, this effort is to show the KPK is indiscriminate.
"Don't let the KPK be said to be not objective in enforcing the law when it comes to its own leadership," Praswad told reporters in a written statement quoted on Wednesday, May 14.
Praswad said Rossa's testimony should be evidence that can be followed up. This statement is based on Article 185 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
"Based on the facts of the trial, it was revealed that not only Hasto was involved in the investigation, but instead the Chairman of the KPK, who was then held by Firli Bahuri, was the main actor in the investigation that was being carried out by the KPK," he said.
"And this endangers the safety and safety of investigators and investigators who are working," continued the Chairman of Southeast Asia Anti-Corruption Syndicate (SEA-Actions).
If Firli and the leadership who were caught holding an investigation, Praswad reminded the anti-corruption commission not to hesitate to ensnare. Moreover, Article 67 of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the KPK states that leaders who commit acts of corruption, including obstructing investigations, can be punished more severely.
Similarly, Novel Baswedan, who is a former KPK investigator, also reminded that his former office dared to investigate allegations of obstruction by the 2019-2024 leadership. Moreover, Rossa said Firli had leaked the OTT.
With the disclosure of the trial, it means that later it can become a case development.
"Especially if it can be known whether there is really a big case behind the Harun Masiku and Hasto cases," said a separate statement.
"And what is the motive of Firli Bahuri to carry out the obstruction of justice," continued Novel.
KPK investigator Rossa Purbo Bekti revealed former KPK chairman Firli Bahuri disseminated the arrest operation (OTT) to the public unilaterally. In fact, the task force (task force) in the field has not succeeded in arresting Hasto and Harun Masiku, who are currently unknown fugitives.
This testimony arose after the prosecutor explored the traces of Hasto's cellphone whose position was traced by Rossa.
"So only 13.11, 15.06, then 16.12 and 16.26. After that it is not active?" asked the prosecutor in a trial held at the Jakarta Corruption Court.
Rossa then explained that Hasto's position from the cellphone was no longer recorded and the exposure to OTT activities was carried out by Firli. This step was questioned because all parties who should have been caught had not been arrested.
"Yes. At that time, we received news through the post that unilaterally the KPK leadership, Firli announced regarding the existence of OTT. We know that from the post, from our task force and it was also shared in the group, we also questioned at that time, while the positions of these parties could not be secured, why have they been informed to the media, or released information related to the existence of OTT," replied Rossa.

Rossa's answer was then investigated by Rios Rahmanto as Chairman of the Panel of Judges. Including the matter of replacing the task force in the middle of the ongoing process.
"Then it has been exposed, here, by the KPK, one of which is the legal advisor now. Well, then the next day a few days later, right, there are indications that the defendant is involved, so what is the action of the witness as a team from the KPK?" asked the judge.
"After the exposure, my task force was issued by the panel," replied Rossa.
"Replaced?" asked the judge.
"Replaced," replied Rossa.
