JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined its former police investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju (SRP).

He was examined as a witness in the bribery case, which allegedly stopped the handling of the case that ensnared the Mayor of Tanjungbalai. During the examination held on Wednesday, July 21, investigators investigated the flow of bribes allegedly through other parties or intermediaries.

"The SRpsuspect was examined as a witness for suspect MH (Maskur Husein). The investigation team confirmed, among other things, the alleged receipt of a sum of money through intermediaries and on behalf of other related parties," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters quoted on Thursday, July 22.

In the bribery case, the KPK has named three suspects, namely Stepanus Robin Pattuju, a lawyer named Maskur Husein, and the Mayor of Tanjung Balai M Syahrial.

Stepanus is suspected of asking for Rp1.5 billion from the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial. The money was given so that the case experienced by M Syahrial related to the bribery investigation investigated by the KPK at the Tanjungbalai City Government, North Sumatra was stopped.

In this case, the KPK also mentioned the role of the Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian Parliament, Azis Syamsuddin. He is said to be the initiator of the introduction between Syahrial and Stepanus.

This acquaintance took place at his official residence. According to the KPK, this Golkar Party politician knows Stepanus from his aides, who are both from the Bhayangkara Corps.
