JAKARTA - Former investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Stepanus Robin Pattuju will undergo his first trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court.

In the trial, he will hear the indictment of the Public Prosecutor (JPU) for the alleged bribery case for the termination of the Tanjungbalai Mayor M Syahrial case.

"The agenda for this inaugural trial is the reading of the indictment of the KPK prosecutor team", said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in his statement, Monday, September 13.

Apart from Stepanus, another suspect, Maskur Husain, will also undergo his first trial. It is planned that the trial will take place this afternoon.

"The information we received will be carried out at around 10:00 a.m. local time, directly at the Tipikor District Court in Central Jakarta", Ali said.

As previously reported, the KPK has named Stepanus Robin Pattuju who is the investigator, a lawyer named Maskur Husain, and the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M. Syahrial as suspects in the alleged bribery case handling the sale and purchase of positions at the Tanjungbalai City Government.

Stepanus Robin Pattuju and Maskur Husain are suspected of having received bribes from M. Syahrial of IDR 1.3 billion from an agreement of IDR 1.5 billion. The bribe was given so that Stepanus would help stop the investigation into the alleged sale and purchase of positions in Tanjungbalai, which the KPK is currently investigating.

In addition to bribes from Syahrial, Maskur Husain is also suspected of receiving IDR 200 million from other parties. Meanwhile, Stepanus from October 2020 to April 2021 was also suspected of receiving money from other parties through bank account transfers in the name of Riefka Amalia, amounting to IDR 438 million.

This case also dragged the name of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Azis Syamsuddin. He is said to have facilitated the introduction of Syahrial and Stepanus at his official residence.
