JAKARTA - Former Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigator, Yudi Purnomo Harahap, assessed that the investigation into the alleged corruption crime (Tipikor) and money laundering crime (TPPU) cases that ensnared the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah must continue to be developed. According to him, investigators need to trace all parties suspected of being involved so that the case can be fully revealed.

Yudi made the statement in a discussion held by the Indonesian Youth Congress Association or Indonesia Youth Congress entitled "Unmasking the Corruption Network Behind the Ex-Jampidsus Case: Who is the Actor? Who benefits?" in Jakarta, Friday, August 7.

Yudi said public supervision was an important factor to ensure the investigation process was objective, professional, and thorough.

"Public supervision in cases of corruption and alleged money laundering cases being handled by the 9th Attorney General's Team is really done thoroughly to uncover whoever the perpetrators are," said Yudi.

According to him, law enforcement should not stop at the designation of several suspects, but must continue to develop investigations in various directions to uncover all parties suspected of having involvement in the case.

"Corruption cannot be done alone or by a few people because it is related to governance and a process," he said.

Yudi also highlighted the investigators' findings in the form of cash of more than IDR 500 billion in various currencies, including rupiah, US dollars, Singapore dollars, and gold bars weighing around 74 kilograms. According to him, the amount of assets found indicates that the case still has room to be further developed.

He added that even though one of the suspects with the initials FA filed a pretrial lawsuit, this step is the right of every citizen guaranteed by law. However, the pretrial process must not hinder investigators in completing evidence or developing cases.

"For me, this case is still evolving. Moreover, the investigation process is still ongoing even though there are three suspects who have been detained. This is still far from enough," he said.

Yudi hopes that the investigation team will continue to work professionally, independently, and objectively in developing cases, both upwards, downwards, and sideways, so that all parties suspected of being involved can be held accountable in accordance with legal provisions.

He also assessed that public escort through discussions, seminars, and scientific forums can be a form of public participation in encouraging transparency and accountability in handling cases.

The discussion featured a number of speakers, including money laundering crime expert (TPPU) Yenti Garnasih, business law expert from Bina Nusantara University Muhammad Reza Syarifuddin Zaki, lecturer of Political Science Postgraduate Program at National University Firdaus Syam, and was attended by students, youth organizations, researchers, practitioners, and the general public.
