JAKARTA - Investigators from the Tipidkor Sub-Directorate of the Polda Metro Jaya coordinate with the Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabor) in handling cases of alleged extortion by the KPK leadership against former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL. The team explored the electronic evidence that had been obtained.
