JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will hold an ethics hearing against its investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju.
He was the recipient of bribes in the case of the termination of the investigation of the case of Mayor Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.
The plan, in the ethics session, Vice Chairman of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia Azis Syamsuddin will be present. He will be questioned as a witness in the ethics hearing.
"Yes, this day begins an ethics hearing," KPK Supervisory Board Chairman Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean told reporters on Tuesday, May 25.
Previously, golkar party politicians had also been examined by the KPK Supervisory Board. At that time, Azis was questioned about the alleged ethical violations committed by Stepanus.
Stepanus and lawyer Maskur Husain are alleged to have received a bribe from M. Syahrial amounting to Rp 1.3 billion from a rp 1.5 billion deal.
The bribe was given so that Stepanus helped stop the investigation of the alleged sale and purchase of positions in Tanjungbalai which is being investigated by the KPK. In this case, Azis is mentioned as the party that introduced Stepanus and Syahrial at his home in October 2020.
This politician was actually also called as a witness in the case that ensnared Stepanus. It's just that he didn't answer the investigator's call because there were other activities that couldn't be abandoned.
The anti-corruption commission has also promised to make a recall of Azis. However, until now the call has not been made.
