Alleged Violation Of Lili Pintauli Declared Disappointed, KPK: The Supervisory Board's Decision Is Right

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the decision of the KPK Supervisory Board regarding the alleged ethical violation by its former deputy chairman, Lili Pintauli Siregar, was correct. Moreover, this is in accordance with the KPK Law Article 37B paragraph 1 letter e.

This statement was conveyed by the Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, responding to the polemic of the ethics trial over the alleged receipt of accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP by Lili Pintauli Siregar.

"The Dewas decision to abort the ethics trial (Lili Pintauli Siregar, ed) is correct," said Ali in a written statement, Wednesday, July 13.

Based on the KPK Law Article 37B Paragraph 1 letter e, the KPK Supervisory Board is tasked with holding a session to examine allegations of violations of the code of ethics by the leadership and employees of the anti-corruption commission.

However, continued Ali, because Lili has resigned from her position and the Presidential Decree (Keppres) was signed on Monday, July 11 yesterday, she is no longer a member of the KPK.

"Because if you are forced to stay in court, you will actually violate the provisions for enforcing the code of ethics itself," he said.

Furthermore, the public is asked not to have further polemics regarding the alleged receipt of accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP by Lili. Moreover, until now there is no evidence of such acceptance because the ethics trial has been declared void.

"With no trial, it cannot be proven whether the examinee is proven to have committed an ethical violation or not. Especially when it comes to the alleged crime," said Ali.

Previously reported, Lili Pintauli was reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for allegedly receiving accommodation and Mandalika MotoGP tickets from PT Pertamina (Persero). In carrying out the investigation, Tumpak et al have asked for information from various parties, including the President Director of PT Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati.

However, this trial was declared void because the former Deputy Chairperson of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) resigned from his position. The KPK Council reasoned that Lili was no longer a member of the KPK.
