JAKARTA - The Indonesian Coalition for the Eradication of Corruption (Kompak) urges law enforcement officials to uncover all parties suspected of being involved in the case that dragged former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. According to Kompak Indonesia, the investigation of the case is not enough to stop at the main perpetrators, but also needs to trace the alleged involvement of intellectual actors and other parties suspected of being behind the case if supported by valid evidence.
This was conveyed by the General Chairman of Kompak Indonesia, Martinus Gabriel Goa, in a discussion entitled "From the Coal Mining Corruption of the PLTU to Money Laundering: Dissection of the Anatomy of Corruption and TPPU in the Ex-Jampidsus Corruption Scandal of the Attorney General's Office" which was held in Central Jakarta, Thursday, July 23.
Gabriel said the ongoing legal process needed public oversight to maintain accountability and avoid potential conflicts of interest.
"The legal process that is currently underway at the Attorney General's Office needs to be monitored by the public at large. There is a concern that there will be a conflict of interest because this case involves former high officials in the institution," he said.
He also expressed his view that investigators needed to explore the possibility of the involvement of other parties if sufficient evidence was found in the investigation process.
"Don't just stop at Febrie Adriansyah. Investigators must dare to reveal other parties who are indicated to be involved in this corruption scandal," said Gabriel.
In addition, Gabriel alluded to Febrie Adriansyah's track record when he served as the Head of the East Nusa Tenggara High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati NTT). According to him, during that time, Kompak Indonesia had highlighted the handling of a number of major cases in the region.
"Since taking office as the head of the NTT Kajati, we have paid attention to handling a number of major cases in the area," he said.
Gabriel also encouraged wider supervision of the process of handling cases so that it runs professionally, independently, and transparently.
According to him, the case that has become the public's concern needs to be completed thoroughly to maintain public confidence in law enforcement agencies.
The discussion also featured the Head of the Criminal Law Study Center, Faculty of Law, Trisakti University, Maria Silvya E. Wangga, academic of the Faculty of Law, Business University of Bina Nusantara, Muhammad Reza Syarifuddin Zaki, FITRA National Commission Researcher Badiul Hadi, and was attended by students, anti-corruption activists, researchers, practitioners, and the general public.
