JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said investigator Stepanus Robin Pattuju leaked the steps of his colleague who investigated the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.
This was conveyed by the KPK when reading out the indictment on behalf of the inactive Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial who gave a bribe of Rp 1.69 billion to Stepanus. The bribe was given so that the anti-corruption commission investigator stopped the KPK investigation into the alleged sale and purchase of positions in the Tanjungbalai City Government.
This leak was given by Stepanus after he was contacted by Syahrial who received information about the arrival of the KPK investigators team to investigate the alleged corruption of the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) in North Labuhanbatu Regency, North Sumatra.
"The defendant contacted Stepanus Robinson Pattuju through the Signal application and asked Stepanus Robinson Pattuju to cancel the plan for the Labura case investigator team not to visit Tanjungbalai City," the KPK Public Prosecutor (JPU) indictment read out at the Medan Corruption Court, Monday, July 12. .
Receiving this report, Stepanus then called Maskur Husain and asked the lawyer to confirm whether the KPK investigators would move to Tanjungbalai.
"Furthermore, Maskur Husain said that there were indeed investigators who conducted searches in North Labuhanbatu Regency, but the KPK investigators would not go to Tanjungbalai," said the prosecutor.
However, it was not detailed where Maskur got the information about the investigator's movement. After hearing the news, Stepanus then contacted Syahrial again
"Stepanus Robinson Pattuju called the defendant and said that it was true that there were KPK investigators who carried out searches in North Labuhanbatu Regency but the KPK investigators would not come to Tanjungbalai City," explained the KPK prosecutor.
As for the consequences of his actions, Syahrial was charged with violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code or Article 5 paragraph (1) letter b of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1 ) KUHP or Article 13 of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
