JAKARTA - Witness of alleged bribery and gratification related to the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Faizal Assegaf, reported KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to the KPK Supervisory Board today, April 15. The complaint letter has been officially submitted.
"Our report is only specific to Budi Prasetyo," Faizal told reporters at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta.
Budi allegedly Faizal had formed an opinion that was not in accordance with his examination on Tuesday, April 7. Including about the seizure of goods that had been carried out by investigators in this case.
"All the accusations, opinions that he has built, including the last one concerning the big slander, the big lie that the KPK has seized goods from us, will be additional evidence at the Metro Jaya Police," he said.
Faizal Assegaf further claimed that the evidence that is now in the possession of investigators is not confiscated. As for the goods that are said to come from Rizal, one of the suspects, it was not accepted by him but by one of his colleagues.
Meanwhile, Budi Prasetyo said Faizal Assegaf admitted receiving goods from Rizal who was a suspect in the case of bribery of the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise while undergoing an examination. The confession was made in front of investigators during an examination some time ago and continued with the seizure.
"At the examination, it needs to be underlined that the person concerned has admitted to the investigators, who then confiscated the goods," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, April 14.
Budi said that the seizure was certainly not done just like that without clear consideration. "And what we then convey to the public as part of the KPK's accountability to the public to convey every development in handling cases," he said.
Furthermore, Budi said he did not bother with the report made by Faizal Assegaf. However, he respected the report made by the witness of the corruption case at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
"We certainly respect the constitutional right of a citizen and we at the KPK also believe that the friends at the Police will objectively, professionally and accurately look at the report," he said.
"Second, we ensure that the entire law enforcement process at the KPK continues to uphold the principles of the presumption of innocence," continued Budi.
