JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has completed the ethical trial of KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar.
This was done because Lili was suspected of violating ethics after contacting the litigants, namely the inactive Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.
"All that is left is the verdict," said member of the KPK Council, Albertina Ho, to reporters, Thursday, August 26.
He said that his party is currently preparing a schedule for the verdict. However, the exact time is unknown.
The verdict hearing will be held openly and accessible to the public. This is different from the ethics trial process which runs behind closed doors according to the rules of the KPK Supervisory Board.
"As usual the trial is also open and there is a press conference after the trial," said Albertina.
As previously reported, Lili was reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for two alleged ethical violations. The report was made by two non-active KPK investigators Novel Baswedan and Rizka Anungnata and the former Director of the KPK's Inter-Commission and Institutional Network Development (PJKAKI) Sujanarko.
First, he allegedly contacted and informed the handling of the alleged corruption case that ensnared the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial. Where this case is suspected to be related to the sale and purchase of positions in the Tanjungbalai Provincial Government, the anti-corruption commission is investigating.
For this action, Lili is suspected of violating the principle of integrity, namely Article 4 paragraph (2) letter a, Regulation of the Indonesian KPK Supervisory Board Number 2 of 2020 concerning Enforcement of the KPK Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. This article reads:
"KPK personnel are prohibited from having direct or indirect relationships with suspects, defendants, convicts, or other parties who are related to cases of criminal acts of corruption whose cases are known to be being handled by the Commission except in the context of carrying out their duties and with the knowledge of the leadership or direct superiors."
Meanwhile, in the second case, Lili is said to have used her position as a KPK leader with the aim of pressuring the Mayor of Tanjungbalai Syahrial. This was done to settle the staffing affairs of his sister-in-law Ruri Prihatini Lubis at the Tirta Kualo Tanjungbalai Drinking Water Company.
For this allegation, he is suspected of violating the principle of integrity in Article 4 paragraph (2) letter b, Regulation of the Indonesian KPK Supervisory Board Number 2 of 2020 concerning Enforcement of the KPK Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. This article reads:
"KPK personnel are prohibited from abusing their position and/or authority, including abusing their influence as a member of the Commission, both in carrying out their duties and personal interests."
