Tomorrow, The KPK-Polda Metro Will Meet To Discuss The Handling Of The SYL Extortion Case

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will hold a coordination meeting with the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya and Bareskrim Polri, Friday, November 9. The meeting will discuss the handling of the alleged extortion case against the former Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL.

"The information we received was true that Friday (10 November) the Corruption Eradication Commission invited the Polda Metro Jaya and the National Police Headquarters to coordinate the handling of the alleged extortion case it was handling," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, November 9.

The plan is for the coordination meeting to take place at the KPK's Red and White Building at around 09.00 WIB.

Meanwhile, the coordination meeting was a follow-up to the supervision application submitted by the Polda Metro Jaya.

"This coordination stage determines whether a case needs supervision or not," he said.

In the coordination meeting later, the KPK will listen to the explanations from the Polda Metro Jaya and Bareskrim Polri regarding the handling of the alleged extortion case. However, it is not included in the main case.

"The KPK will then examine whether to determine whether the KPK needs to supervise or not," said Ali.

Previously reported, Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto wrote to the KPK regarding a request for supervision in handling the alleged extortion case against former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL by the head of the anti-corruption agency. The letter was sent October 11.

The request for supervision between Polda Metro Jaya and the KPK is a form of transparency in handling the alleged extortion case.

After a long time, the KPK finally discussed the letter on November 6. Although the contents of the reply letter were not detailed, it is believed that the anti-corruption agency approved the invitation to supervise the Polda Metro Jaya.
