JAKARTA - Former investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Novel Baswedan, admitted that he had known for a long time that there were eight 'insiders', former Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Azis Syamsuddin, at the KPK.
He also admitted that he had reported this to the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas). It's just that the report is in vain.
"I have also (already) reported the problem to the Dewas but it doesn't (but doesn't) work," Novel said as quoted from his Twitter account @nazaqistha on Tuesday, October 5.
Novel thinks that the KPK is afraid that the eight people will be exposed to the public. This, he said, was proven by the anti-corruption commission's efforts to get rid of him and his colleagues who were in charge of the bribery case to investigate the alleged corruption.
"Indeed, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is afraid that it will be revealed and forbids our team to investigate the case by appointing another team for (for) investigation," he stressed. BAP) belongs to the Regional Secretary (Sekda) Tanjungbalai Yusmada. From the BAP it was revealed that Azis Syamsuddin had eight insiders at the KPK who were used to secure the corruption case that ensnared him.
The BAP was read out during the trial at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on Monday, October 4.
"In the Minutes of Investigation (BAP) No. 19, paragraph 2, you explained that M Syahrial said he could get to know Robin because he was assisted by Azis Syamsuddin, the Deputy Speaker of the DPR because he met at Azis' house in Jakarta. M Syahrial also said that Azis had 8 people. At the KPK, who can be mobilized by Azis for the sake of Azis OTT or securing cases, one of them is Robin. That's Azis Syamsuddin, who has secured OTT and secured cases, what case?" asked the Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the KPK Heradian Salipi.
"Nothing was conveyed," Yusmada replied.
Yusmada became a witness for former KPK investigator Stepanus Robin Pattuju and advocate Maskur Husain who were charged with receiving a total of IDR 11.5 billion from handling five cases at the KPK. Yusmada himself has been named as a suspect in the 2019 transfer auction case at the Tanjungbalai City Government.
In the bribery case for handling alleged corruption in Tanjungbalai, Stepanus and Maskur Husain were charged with receiving Rp1.695 billion from the non-active Tanjungbalai Mayor M Syahrial to secure the investigation into the case of buying and selling positions within the Tanjungbalai City government so that it does not go up to the investigation stage.
Stepanus was initially introduced to Syahrial by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Azis Syamsudin, in October 2020. During the meeting, Syahrial asked Robin not to take the investigation into the sale and purchase of positions into action.
Robin then discussed it with Maskur Husain who works as an advocate and agreed to ask for a compensation of Rp. 1.7 billion.
The money is given in stages in November 2020 - April 2021 through transfers to Riefka Amalia's account, namely Robin's sister's sister (Rp1,275 billion), transfers to Maskur's account on December 22, 2020 (Rp200 million), cash payments of Rp10 million in March 2021 and cash distribution of IDR 210 million on December 25, 2020.
Robin also conveyed information that the KPK team would not come to Tanjungbalai city because the team had been secured by Robin in November 2020. The Rp1.695 billion money was divided into two, namely Rp490 million for Robin and Rp1,205 billion for Maskur Husain.
